1.1 ? Employee Classification Definitions

1.1.1 Overview

This section defines the classifications of public school employees to determine certain benefits and privileges afforded when employed.

1.1.2 Permanent Employee

As used in these policies "permanent employee" means an employee who is either:

(a) Employed to fill a position that is to be permanent if needs and funds continue. A permanent employee is eligible to receive full or pro-rata benefits, or

(b) Employed for at least six full consecutive months of employment to either replace one or more employees who are on an approved leave of absence without pay, or to fill a vacancy until a qualified replacement is employed. A person employed for at least six full consecutive months is eligible to receive full or pro-rata benefits, therefore the eligibility for benefits must be determined at the time of the initial assignment, or when the assignment status changes.

Permanent employees who works at least 30 hours per week must be enrolled in the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System and must receive employer-paid medical insurance for self.

They may be classified as full-time or part-time, but must work a minimum of 20 hours per week.

Permanent employees do not lose permanent status during any period of temporary or interim assignment to another position in the same school system when it is anticipated that the employee will be returned to the permanent position.

1.1.3 Part-time Employee

As used in these policies "part-time employee" means an employee who regularly works at least 20 hours per week, but less than the number of hours set as full time for that class of work.

Any permanent employee who works at least 30 hours per week must be enrolled in the Retirement System and receive employer-paid medical insurance for self.
