Q: Contract emergency closer extra pay employer stating doesn't count.
CA school district. My district is stating that the contract doesn't count and they won't pay extra for employees required to work. "Emergency Minimum Days: all Bargaining Unit Members may be required to remain at the site in order to handle and/or control an emergency situation. Compensation for those Members shall be at one-and-one-half times (1 ½) their regular rate of pay from the time the employee is requested to stay on an emergency minimum day. 5.2.7 Emergency Closing Procedure: In the event the District is forced to close down operations due to extreme weather conditions or natural disaster, as determined by the Superintendent, or the Superintendent's designee, all Bargaining Unit Members scheduled to work that day shall be compensated at their regular rate of pay. (Bargaining Unit Members who are requested to stay
refer, to Section 5.2.6 Emergency Minimum Day)"
A:
You have asked no question. It is difficult to know what you want to learn.
Bottom line is that this is a collective bargaining agreement issue so it must be resolved through your union. See your union rep.
Good luck to you.
