Mr. Kenneth Brynien, President

Public Employees Federation, AFL-CIO

 

Dear Mr. Brynien:

 

            This will continue and confirm our understanding reached during the course of negotiations of the 1999-2003 State/PEF Agreement, on the subject of Institution Teachers.

           

1.  Sick Leave Accrual Rate

Full-time teachers shall be guaranteed the opportunity to earn sick leave at an amount equivalent to that which could be earned in 22 pay periods.  This is a guaranteed opportunity to earn the above stated amount of sick leave, not a guarantee that an employee will actually earn that amount.  An employee will still have to meet the eligibility requirements to earn sick leave each pay period.  Mechanically, this would be accomplished by an employee continuing to earn sick leave at his/her current sick leave accrual rate with an annual adjustment on the employee’s anniversary date.

 

2.  Nothing in Article 26 or this side letter shall change the September 1-June 30 school year.

 

For the State:

 

John Currier
Deputy Director for Contract Negotiation and Administration

Governor's Office of Employee Relations

 

For PEF:

  

Kenneth Brynien

President

Public Employees Federation
