Calling Substitutes Clause Samples
The 'Calling Substitutes' clause establishes the process and conditions under which a party may appoint or request a substitute individual or entity to perform certain duties or services under the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines when substitutes can be called, any required qualifications or approvals, and the responsibilities of both the original and substitute parties. For example, if a key team member is unavailable due to illness, the clause may allow for a qualified replacement to step in, provided the other party is notified in advance. This clause ensures continuity of service or performance, minimizing disruptions and clarifying expectations in the event of absences or unforeseen circumstances.
Calling Substitutes. A. Early in each school year, the Board will survey the building secretaries as to their desires to perform the following duties for the school year:
1. Receiving calls from teachers needing substitutes.
2. Calling potential substitutes until a substitute is secured. If no secretary wishes to perform these duties for the school year, the Board will accept applications from other qualified bargaining unit members whose schedules do not conflict with the demands of the job. If the position remains unfilled, the Board may contract a non-bargaining unit member to perform the work, for a rate of pay no greater than that specified in this agreement.
B. The rate of pay for the above listed functions shall be as follows: Each substitute caller shall receive five (5) hours of pay every two weeks. There shall be no more than three substitute callers per year. In the event that an employee is assigned to work in multiple classifications with differing rates of pay, compensation shall be based on the employee’s classification with the highest rate of pay. Employees assigned to call substitutes over the Christmas Holiday shall receive a minimum of two and a half (2.5) hours of additional pay, not to exceed five (5) hours of pay, if calls are made. A list of each substitute and the person for whom the substitute was called will be provided by the caller.
C. The Board may contract with one (1) individual to perform the duties for the entire school district at seven (7) hours per week at their standard pay rate. In the event that an employee is assigned to work in multiple classifications with differing rates of pay, compensation shall be based on the employee’s classification with the highest rate of pay.
D. If, in a given year, no employee desires to perform the duties as listed in A)1. And 2. above, the Board may contract with the Darke County ESC or other agency for the services for a rate of pay no greater than that specified in this Agreement. Once these services are contracted out, the District may have to continue the contractual agreement in future years.
