Philadelphia Federation of Teachers School District of Philadelphia

days” which shall represent pro-rated time off for holidays that occur on Mondays
and Tuesdays for that fiscal year. In no event, however, will the number of holidays
exceed the total pro-rated amount referenced in this paragraph. Employees shall
be entitled to use floating holidays after the actual holiday for which it was provided
occurs, on the condition that the employee was actively employed on the
date of the actual holiday.
For example, if a holiday falls on a Monday (i.e. Labor Day), the employees
on this shift will be provided with a floating holiday, to be used in accordance
with the terms of this Section. If a holiday falls on a Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday the employees will be off on the designated holiday. Finally, if an actual
holiday falls on a Saturday (i.e. New Years Day, Fourth of July, Christmas Day),
the School District may designate that holiday as a scheduled holiday for this
shift, and the employees will work the remaining days of their regularly scheduled
shift.
Compensation for floating holidays will be at the employee’s regular rate of
pay. Unused floating holidays shall not be accumulated or carried over from year
to year. Employees shall be paid for any unused floating holidays at the end of
a fiscal year at his/her current rate of pay.
Head Start — Supportive Service Assistants
To the extent funding is available, the Head Start Program will hire twelve
(12) additional Supportive Service Assistants. They will work as floating substitutes
for Teacher Assistants. They will work four (4) hours per day and will be
paid the rate of pay for Supportive Service Assistants.
Head Start — Fax Machines
This is to confirm our April 10th agreement of this office placing a fax machine
in all of our non-school locations effective September 2000. We will not provide
another phone line, but will notify staff when it is necessary for us to fax information
to them.
Hopefully, this will alleviate staff from receiving documents late or not at all
by mail.
Paychecks
The School District agrees that as soon as possible, paycheck stubs shall itemize
all “adjustments” including such as have not heretofore been itemized.
Reading at Faculty Meetings
The School District agrees that any printed or duplicated materials distributed
at faculty meetings shall not be read to the teachers.
School Organization Chart
Because there is a need to clarify the relationship between the administrative
staff in the school and the employees, Principals must post a school organization
chart showing the lines of responsibility and supervision.
