HR 06/17/25 Consecutive work status begins on the 11th consecutive day and is established by fulfilling half or full day assignments for teachers, paraprofessionals, and some Academy positions. The daily rate of pay will increase by $10 and continue until there is a break in service, at which time the daily rate returns to the Regular Rate and the daily count reverts to Day 1. A long-term assignment is defined as any teaching assignment extending over 10 consecutive days for the same teacher. If the long-term assignment is scheduled in advance for longer than 10 consecutive days, then the long-term rate will begin on day 1 of each long-term assignment. If a teaching assignment starts as a regular assignment (less than 10 days) and is extended past ten days, then the long-term rate will begin on consecutive day 11 of the assignment. Paraprofessional (Aide) assignments do not qualify for Long-term Pay, but do qualify for the Consecutive Day Rate in a long-term position. 2025-2026 Paraprofessional Pay Rates Paraprofessional (Aide) assignments do not qualify for Long-term Pay, but do qualify for the Consecutive Day Rate in a long-term position. 2025-2026 SUBSTITUTE PAY SCHEDULE Education Regular Rate Consecutive Day Rate Long-Term Rate - Day 45+ (Teaching Positions Only) *If the long-term assignment is fulfilling a vacant teaching position, then the daily rate of pay may increase to first-year teacher daily rate on day 45. Section 2: Substitute Pay Schedule Human Resources – August 2025 P a g e | 8 Section 3: Stipends and Extracurricular Duty Pay A stipend is a fixed amount added to base pay to compensate employees for extra duties or special credentials. A stipend is typically paid out in equal payroll installments. Stipends are used to compensate for something above and beyond the standard job requirements, such as a special work assignment, supplemental duties, or special job credentials. Stipends are used to differentiate pay among employees who are paid on fixed pay scales such as teacher salary schedules. A stipend can only be paid to an exempt employee. A stipend cannot be paid to a non-exempt employee. A non- exempt employee must be paid for actual hours worked. Hours worked in excess of 40 hours a week must be paid at time and one-half. The maximum number of stipends that a Professional employee may receive is three (3) stipends per school year. Any exception to this policy will be at the discretion of the Head of School.
