Classified employees are required to serve a probationary period. A probationary employee can be terminated without cause only during the second half of the probationary period. The probationary period can last from 60 days to one year. For county employees, the probationary period is 120 days, unless a longer period is established. The law requires that school employees be permitted to accumulate at least 120 days of sick leave at the rate of 15 days per year credited at the rate of one and one-fourth days per month.
Many boards permit unlimited accumulation as policy or through the negotiated agreement.
All employees are entitled to an advance of five days of sick leave at the beginning of the school year or upon employment. School Support Personnel are entitled to use sick leave for pregnancy. Failure of a board to do so automatically re-employs them. The salary may be increased due to schedule improvements through negotiations. Age 55 with 25 years of service.
