Synopsis
|
Grievant agreed to give up her 90 minute planning period to teach a class, in exchange for additional compensation. The agreement Grievant signed stated she would be compensated in exchange for her planning period, and would be paid a set hourly rate to teach the course for a stated period of time during the fall semester. Grievant was not paid this hourly rate in exchange for her planning period on days she was absent on leave, but believed she was entitled to be compensated for these instructional periods because she had to prepare lesson plans. Grievant had not clarified this point prior to signing the agreement. The agreement Grievant signed is consistent with the statutory language which allows an employee to exchange her planning period for compensation. On days Grievant was absent, she had no planning period which she could exchange for compensation and was not entitled to any additional payment on those days.
