We are in the process of reworking the documentation behind the Sub Incentive Program but wanted to reach out to you all with a few reminders.

This program is only meant to be used for employees covering for a missing teacher.

Only time that an employee spends covering a classroom for a missing teacher is covered. If an employee is covering for a Teaching Assistant, Office Associate, or any other non-teaching positions, Sub Incentive Pay should NOT be applied.

School-Based Substitutes.

Per the School-Based Substitute job description:

The School-based Substitute Teacher covers classroom teacher, specialist, or teaching assistant roles based on school needs each day. Additional responsibilities may include covering for Office Associates or supporting instruction with a classroom teacher.

Based on this description, covering for employees that are missing is built into the role and rate of pay. Therefore, they do no qualify for the Sub Incentive Pay program since the role itself encompasses what we are asking teachers and teaching assistants to do for the incentive.

Work done outside of scheduled hours.

If an employee is asked to cover a classroom teacher outside of their regular scheduled hours, Sub Incentive should not be applied. Instead, the Sub – Full Day or Sub – Half Day work rule should be applied to ensure the employee is properly compensated for the time worked.
