§ 3011. Contract  with  teacher.    1. Except as otherwise provided in   sections twenty-five hundred twenty-three,  three  thousand  twelve  and   three  thousand  thirteen, all trustees of school districts or boards of   education who shall employ any teacher to teach shall, at  the  time  of   such  employment,  make and deliver to such teacher, or cause to be made   and delivered, a contract in writing, signed by them, or by some  person   duly  authorized to represent them in the premises, in which the details   of the agreement between the parties, and particularly the length of the   term of employment, the amount of compensation and the  time  when  such   compensation  shall  be  due and payable shall be clearly and definitely   set forth.1-a. Notwithstanding any other provision of law,  in  a  city  with  a   population of one million or more, all teachers, as that term is defined   in  section  13-501  of the administrative code of the city of New York,   and all board of education employees serving as regular  substitutes  or   full  term per diem substitutes shall be paid the amount of compensation   due them pursuant  to  collective  bargaining  agreements  or  to  other   contracts on the precise date such compensation is due. If such payments   are  not  made  on  the  dates  so required, interest shall be recovered   beginning thirty days, following the later of the effective date of this   act or the required payment date through the day that payment is in fact   tendered. In the case of a salary differential, the date compensation is   due shall be defined as thirty days following  the  date  an  employee's   application  is filed by the employee with the board of education of the   city of New York. Interest shall be computed at the rate  set  forth  in   paragraph  one  of subdivision (e) of section one thousand ninety-six of   the tax law and shall be added to any compensation amounts  referred  to   above that have not been paid when owed.2.  No  contract  for the employment of a teacher in a district having   three trustees or a board of education shall be made for more  than  one   year  in  advance  or  for  a shorter time than ten weeks unless for the   purpose of filling an unexpired term of school; except that  a  contract   may  be  made  in  such a district for not more than five years with any   teacher who has been employed  in  such  district  for  at  least  three   consecutive years immediately prior to the execution of the contract.3.  No contract for the employment of a teacher in a district having a   sole trustee shall be made to extend beyond the date of  the  expiration   of  the  term  of  office  of  such  trustee. A sole trustee of a school   district shall have full power and authority to contract  with  teachers   for  the  term  for which he has been elected any time after the date of   the annual meeting at which such trustee was elected.4. No trustee shall contract with any  teacher  whose  certificate  of   qualifications shall not cover a period at least as long as that covered   by the contract of service.
