Just a couple of quick questions...Who on this Board will be receiving a fully paid Week off for Easter/Spring Break? Who on this Board will be receiving a fully paid entire Summer off this year? Just curious. Thanks.
What teachers get paid vacations? None I know. What teachers get a fully paid summer off? None I know.
You must be an hourly employee becuase you think like an hourly employee.
Teachers are not hourly. They are annual.
Actually teachers are contract. They are contracted for a certain number of days.
They get paid a salary and included in that is the right to take a vacation when they are not needed in the school without a deduction from their salary.
Not quite, in the finance world "vacation" days have a specific meaning because the employer incurs a financial liability for those days accrued by the employee. Typically those days are paid out if the employee terminates.
Teachers (typically) do no accrue "vacation" days ("sick leave" is a whole different benefit) and those days are not charged as vacation days when the school is closed. Those are non-contract days and as such are not included in the teachers compensation.
The same holds true for any exempt employee in any company.
The only differecne is a teachers vacation is decided by the school calendar.
No it doesn't. Teachers (as a 10-month employee) don't accrue vacation. As a a 12-month employee I accrue vacation. We are not the same.
