Is it normal for schools to deduct pay for unpaid time off at a higher hourly rate than your actual hourly rate? We get 3 days of combined PTO/sick days per year. Those days were used up when I had COVID in Oct. A few weeks ago I had a medical emergency and spent 2 days in the hospital, having to take unpaid time off. My district deducts UPTO pay at a rate that assumes your salary is divided by 9 months instead of 12. eg; your normal hourly is $25, they deduct $35/hr from your pay.

I don’t know but 3 days doesn’t sound nearly enough!

Many years ago when I was out weeks for medical in California, they only deducted the cost of the sub and paid me the rest. We had a great union.

Yes, same thing happened to me 21 years ago when I had my first child.

It’s because that’s what you are actually being paid, your individual days are worth that much.

Just because they conveniently pay you over the course of 12 months does not negate the fact that you actually work 9 months (or whatever it is you work). Ours was by days, not hours. I had friends that took extra time off for maternity leave & for some it was WEEKS of teaching before they were actually paid.

Pretty common for your daily rate to be calculated by total contractual days. What is the confusion here?

Kids hate story problems. But life is a giant story problem. For instance: Susie works 7.5 hours per day for 185 days and earns $xx,xxx. How much does Susie make in an hour? But like most colleagues here, I can’t get past the number 3! Over 30 years, 4 districts, in two states, my sick/personal combo has always been in the 6-9 range.

smart

Yep. We are 10 month employees so our hourly rate is calculated by that not the 12 month pay option that some choose.

THREE DAYS?!

Yea unfortunately that is pretty normal

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
