Work Year

Administrative Procedure

  1. The work year of all certificated and non-certificated staff is given in the operational calendar promulgated annually (See page 2).  Should a non-work day be used as a work day, 12-month employees affected will be granted one day annual leave.
  2. The work year for all ten and one-half month and eleven month staff begins August 1st of each year and ends June 30th of the next year.
  3. During this period of time, all ten and one-half and eleven month staff must work the teacher duty year plus the additional days needed to meet the required number of duty days listed for those staff in the operational calendar (see page 2).
  4. All ten and one-half month and eleven month staff will report these additional days worked to his/her immediate supervisor and/or the individual who is responsible for the payroll report which is sent to the Finance Office at the Garrett County Public Schools.
  5. The immediate supervisor and/or the individual responsible for the payroll report will record the ten and one-half month and eleven month staff's names and the additional days worked for the particular pay period on a separate sheet.
  6. The sheets of additional time worked by the ten and one-half month and eleven month staff will be kept on file at the work site to verify the number of additional duty days worked by each staff member. At the end of the work year a copy of this documentation is to be forwarded to the Personnel Office.
  7. Each ten and one-half month and eleven month staff member should keep a personal record of the dates and days worked in addition to the teacher duty days worked; so that he/she knows that he/she has worked the correct number of additional duty days required for his/her work year.
