Common use of Substitute Pool Clause in Contracts

Substitute Pool. A list shall be maintained of the classification (other than the employee's own regular classification) in which a regular contract employee has an interest in working on an as needed basis. The member of the sub-pool must meet minimum qualifications for the position based on job descriptions as reviewed by the superintendent. Employees may sign up on the list before the first day of student attendance in the fall and the first day of the second semester. This substitute pool list shall have preference for as-needed work on a rotation seniority (number of years employed in the district) basis, unless assigning substitute work will result in overtime status for the employee or unless there is less than twenty-four (24) hours notice of the need, in which case the superintendent may use someone off the pool list or someone outside the bargaining unit. Participation in the sub pool cannot interfere with normal duty. If no one on the list accepts an offer of as-needed work, a substitute outside the unit may be used. For as-needed work, those on the substitute pool list shall be paid the zero experience rate for the classification of the work. The maximum hours that a sub pool member may work is 40 hours in a week.
