Alternative Longevity Plan. An employee who has completed 15 total years of service in the Braintree Public Schools may elect longevity payments of $2,000 per year for the three full consecutive years of employment that follow acceptance under this provision. Part-time employees shall receive this payment on a pro-rata basis. The appropriate amount will be added to the employee’s regular compensation, apportioned equally over the number of paychecks in the full work year. The option to elect this benefit is available only once during an employee’s career in Braintree. In order to qualify for this benefit, the employee must provide written notice of election of this benefit to the Superintendent of Schools by November 1 of the school year prior to the school year in which it will take effect (or by February 1, 2005 if the benefit is to begin in September, 2004 or September, 2005). All payments made pursuant to this provision are subject to all deductions required by state and/or federal laws during the three years in which it is paid. Said payments are not permanently thereafter part of an employee’s base salary, which shall revert to the employee’s customary place on the salary schedule following the three-year period during which the benefit was paid. Once an employee has elected this benefit and begun to receive the payments provided above, said election may not be rescinded or revoked for any reason. Further, said employee will no longer be eligible for benefits under #5 (Career Award) and #6 (Longevity) of Appendix A. A total of 60 employees may participate in this benefit: 20 in the 2004-05 school year, and an additional 20 in each the 2005-06 school year and 2006-07 school year, for a total of 60 in the 2006-07 school year and for each subsequent year thereafter. Available slots will be filled from among those applying according to total years of service and lottery number. In the event that the number of employees who apply for this benefit exceeds the number of slots available for any particular contract year, then a waiting list shall be established. Employees will be listed in descending order according to total years of service and lottery number and will receive the benefit as slots become available. A wait-listed employee will have the opportunity to withdraw her/his application for the benefit prior to being placed in an open slot.
