2. Attendance Incentive Program

Employees reaching or exceeding a 98% threshold for attendance based on their individual calendar will be awarded a maximum of $160 per semester.

INTRODUCTION

3. Attendance Incentive Program
The following criteria will be used in order to determine eligibility in the Attendance Incentive Program (AIP). This is not an all-inclusive list since it is impossible to predict all circumstances. Should there be an issue that arises not covered by these criteria, it will be referred to a committee of four employee representatives (Personnel & Human Resources Coordinator, Principal, Classified employee, and Certified Employee).

6. Attendance Incentive Program
For the sake of calculating consistently, we will either round up or down in making calculations. We will round numbers down to the closest whole number from 0.5 and below and calculations above 0.5 will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
We will initiate this program on January 2, and on that day everyone begins with a “clean slate” based on their remaining contract. We will calculate each person based on their remaining contract from January 2, 2018 forward.

7. Attendance Incentive Program
Employees will be required to fill out a form requesting this award. Forms must be turned in by the last school day (of the first semester) for first semester consideration and by the last school day (of the second semester) for second semester consideration. Extended day employees must turn in the second semester request by June 15th. Requests will then be verified and checks issued on January 10th and June 30th. If an employee’s request is denied for any reason they will receive an explanation from their supervisor. NOTE: Employees must turn in a form to request this award; no employee will be considered for this program unless they turn in a signed form to their supervisor. Forms will be provided to your supervisor for distribution.
