Staff Compensation & Work Schedules

Our Current Plan for Work Schedules

1. Unless otherwise notified by their immediate supervisor, ALL AISD STAFF will receive regular communication from their direct supervisor concerning work activities and expectations. Unless otherwise defined as essential work or voluntarily participating in small group campus activities all AISD staff will be in a ‘work from home’ mode from March 23, 2020 through the end of the 2019-2020 school year. In the coming days, all AISD staff will receive communication from their direct supervisor alerting them to their work schedule and what to do on Monday March 23, 2020
2. There will be times when essential staff may be asked to work on-site. These groups will follow all social distancing recommendations and requirements including limiting groups to no more than 10 people, and preferably on a volunteer basis.
3. Initially, there may be a need for some essential staff to work on-site. As this situation evolves, the definition of essential staff may change. In our current situation, essential staff may mean teachers and/or campus staff, ESC personnel, transportation vendor staff, custodial/maintenance staff, and child nutrition staff.
4. Supervisors will notify staff of what ‘work from home’ will look like for each employee. This will include being available during regular work hours to conduct ‘at home work’ and the ability to respond to their supervisor in a reasonable amount of time if requested.
5. We will monitor the situation daily to make changes as necessary.

Our Current Plan for Continued Compensation

1. All professional (exempt and non-exempt) staff will continue to be compensated at the same rate as before the outbreak.
2. All para-professional staff will continue to be compensated at the same rate as before the outbreak.
3. All substitutes will continue to be compensated at the same rate as before the outbreak. Examples:
   • a.) If they worked 3 days last pay period, they will be paid for 3 days this pay period.
   • b.) If they worked 16 days last pay period, they will be paid for 16 days this pay period.
     **All substitute jobs in AESOP that are not categorized as NCLB, Pre-Assigned, or Long-Term subs have been cancelled for March 23, 2020 through the end of the 2019-2020 school year.**
4. All transportation vendor staff will be paid in accordance to the vendor.
5. All tutors and temporary employees will continue to be compensated at the same rate as before the outbreak. Examples:
   • a.) If they worked 20 hours last pay period, they will be paid for 20 hours this pay period.
   • b.) If they worked 70 hours last pay period, they will be paid for 70 hours this pay period.
6. In an effort to support any employee who falls outside these guidelines, they should contact the Human Resources office for a pay evaluation.
7. Based on the need for essential work, some hourly employees may qualify for premium pay as defined in board policy.
