Common use of Long-Term Substitutes Clause in Contracts

Long-Term Substitutes. A long-term substitute is one who replaces a regular employee for an extended period of time in excess of sixty (60) days. Such a person will remain as a substitute but will be placed on the first step on the regular salary schedule commencing with the sixty-first (61st) consecutive day of service in the assignment of the regular employee. Upon the return of a regular employee or through an interruption in a long-term substitute's service, a long-term substitute shall revert to a regular status and pay rate, as a short-term substitute unless such interruption is for three (3) days or less and for reasons described in the Sick Leave Policy Rules and Regulations. There shall, however, be no pay for such absence. Except as provided by law, there shall be no contractual relationship explicit or implied in the placement of a long-term substitute on the regular salary schedule while serving in the absence of a regular staff member.
