These are copies of the superintendent's leave since July of 2007. He has a twelve month contract that specifically states that everyday is a working day with the exception of Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. According to these documents it would appear that he has not taken any time off over the holidays for the past two years. What seems more likely to me is that he has in fact taken time off but has not declared it as leave. That would not be so bad except he then cashes out "unused" vacation days each year to the tune of about $4,400 annually. Last year, for example, he "gave up" nine days without pay because of the budget shortfall but was then reimbursed for ten "unused" vacation days. As far as I know, no other administrators, nor teachers, nor classified employees had that option. The days they lost to the budget were truly lost income.
Looking at page 2 of this document I am confused, are you? He gets 80 hours payout in December, and then on June 30 there is a reversal of 142 hours????? Per HR/Horn??? So Dr. Hunter can use the vacation and then have it reversed. This appears to be a computer generated report, so how can it show him gone, and then it gets reversed, and the following day gets another payout. Is some employee making an error and putting him as on vacation when he actually wasn't, this whole document is a warning flag. Is anyone else confused? If the vacation part is screwy, what about the other leave he is assigned, sick, discreationary, family illness?
ReplyDeleteWhat's also surprising is that he apparently only took 4.75 days of vacation for all of 2008-09. Any time off that he takes over the winter break, or spring break, or summer break has to be declared as leave, even though district offices are closed. He is supposed to work everyday except for weekends and legal holidays or take it as leave. I find in unbelievable that he worked the entire year with less than five days off. I'm still trying to get a consistent answer for the reversal of the 142 hours on 6/30/08. I'll let you know what I find out.
