Double Duty. A teacher is eligible for substitute pay if he/she is responsible for his/her own students as well as the absent teacher's students at the same time, thereby doing "double duty".
Double Duty a. No professional employee shall be required to cover a class or be caused to have his instructional class size increased because of another professional employee’s supplemental contract or another employee’s absence, except in cases of unforeseen exigencies.
Double Duty. No employee(s) shall be required, on a continuing basis, to assume the responsibilities of a vacant staff position in addition to their own duties and responsibilities. It is agreed by the parties that when a position becomes temporarily vacant or should the long-term illness of an active employee require work coverage, all intentions are to have such positions covered immediately. Typically, vacancies will be filled, or a temporary employee will cover the vacancy, and in the case of long-term absence by an active employee, a temporary employee will cover the work. However, requiring an employee to assume the responsibility of such a position for a thirty (30) calendar day period is considered reasonable and shall not constitute a violation of this Article. The Employer will contact the Union President(s) or designee when it is contemplating assigning any bargaining unit member to cover any temporarily vacant position or position requiring coverage due to the absence of an active employee. When hiring a temporary is not feasible, any bargaining unit member assigned to such coverage shall receive one (1) sick leave day added to their accumulated sick leave for every thirty (30) calendar days of coverage, or portion thereof, performed beyond the initial thirty (30) calendar day period.
Double Duty. When classified employees are absent and not replaced with a substitute, those classified employees in the same building and/or department who are asked to assume part of the absent employee’s duties may seek direction from the supervisor as to what work should be postponed or eliminated and if and when work can be rescheduled. Depending on the length of absence and the schedule when the work must be done, the rescheduled work hours approved by the supervisor may be assigned to the absent employee, upon return to work, or to other classified employees in the building and/or department, or to a substitute or temporary retained for a subsequent day(s).
