Bereavement Leave

Staff who transfer from a regular full-time or term of project 12-month position to a temporary or part-time status will be paid for their prorated, unused vacation time based on the number of full calendar months they worked in a vacation-eligible position. If vacation time has already been used, then no vacation payment will be made.

Staff who transfer from a 10-month to a 12-month position will be eligible for vacation based upon their length of service. These staff members will receive sick, personal and floating holidays based upon their transition date according to the “New Hire Allocation” for their first year only. Thereafter, beginning July 1 of the next calendar year, staff will be allocated vacation, sick, personal and floating holidays based on their length of service using their original hire date or rehire date, if applicable. Staff who transfer from a 12- to 10-month position will be eligible for personal days based on their length of service. Thereafter, beginning the first teacher work day of the next school year, staff will be allocated personal and sick days based on their length of service using their original hire date or rehire date, if applicable.

Staff who transfer from a regular full-time 10-month position to a temporary or part-time status will have personal days adjusted to align with the new position.

Staff who transfer positions and who have an original hire date as well as a rehire date(s) will only receive service credit for their original hire date if they are rehired into a benefits eligible position within one (1) year of their termination date. If a staff member is not rehired within one year into a benefits eligible position, they will receive service credit based upon their rehire date. For example, a staff member who leaves the company and is rehired after two (2) years will receive service credit based upon their rehire date, if the staff member transfers positions.
