Educational Support Personnel – Employment At-Will, Compensation and
Assignment
Unless otherwise specifically provided, District employment is at-will,
meaning that employment may be terminated by the District or employee at any
time for any reason, other than a reason prohibited by law, or no reason at
all. Nothing in School Board Policy is intended or should be construed as
altering the employment at-will relationship.
Exceptions to employment at-will may include employees who are employed
annually, have an employment contract, or are otherwise granted a legitimate
interest in continued employment. The
Superintendent is authorized to make exceptions to employing non-certificated
employees at-will but shall maintain a record of positions or employees who are
not at-will and the reason for the exception.
Please refer to the "Agreement between
Community Unit School District No. 5 Sterling Association of Educational
Support Personnel, IEA/NEA and Board of Education of Community Unit School
District No. 5." The School Board
will determine salary and wages for educational support personnel. Increments
are dependent on evidence of continuing satisfactory performance. An employee covered by the overtime
provisions in state or federal law, shall not work overtime without the prior authorization from the employee’s immediate
supervisor. Educational support personnel
are paid every 2 weeks. The Superintendent
or a designee is authorized to make assignments and transfers of educational
support personnel.
