Overtime

At the end of the norm period, the school must calculate whether you have had overtime hours during the school year.  If you have overtime, the school’s administration decides whether you will receive time off or overtime payment.

Time off in connection with overtime

If you are granted time off for overtime, you must be granted 50% more than the actual number of overtime hours. If you have 40 overtime hours, you must be granted 60 hours of time off. 

Payment of overtime

Each hour of overtime you have had in addition to full-time must be paid at 1/1924 of your total fixed annual salary at the time of payment + 50%.
