Common use of Per Diem Rate Clause in Contracts

Per Diem Rate. In the event of: (1) deductions for absences on calendared duty days not covered by approved leave or (2) additional compensation for employment beyond the calendared duty days, the following method shall be used to compute the per diem rate: total contractual Schedule A salary shall be divided by the sum of days of class attendance, orientation, in-service, grade reporting and legal holidays, which days are part of the school calendar or which occur during the period covered by the school calendar. Per diem rates shall be computed using the method as described above. Legal holidays shall be defined as per the Revised School Code. Such holidays are currently listed as New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day immediately following Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas. This means that the Schedule A contract amount will be divided by the total teacher/ancillary staff days plus the holidays. The result is a daily rate of pay.
