If an employee has a stipend for having extra training or experience, should I report this as a separate position code or extra duty assignment?
(9/25/2012)No. If an employee is paid a stipend for things like having more experience or longevity or for having completed additional training, do not identify that as an extra duty using a separate position code. Report only the position code for the employee’s regular position, and include the stipend as part of the "base salary" under the contract. These types of stipends differ from assignments that come with the expectation of additional duties/work, which are addressed in question P-5.
Question P-5:
Should "extra duty" assignment, such as debate team coach, coaching, and other extracurricular assignments, be reported using separate position codes?
Yes. Report an "extra duty" assignment as a separate position from the employee’s regular position. There are several extra duty position codes to use for additional duties (may be a stipend duty or no extra pay), and FTE is not required to be indicated for these positions.
For example:
a. A full time principal is also the sports coach. Report the principal position (AD34 Principal) and FTE under the appropriate school on the Terms of Employment report, and also list the coaching duties (DS03 Coach (Sports)) with no FTE. "Base salary" does not include a stipend for coaching, if any.
b. A full time regular education teacher is also the debate team sponsor/coach. Report the teacher’s position (TC01 Teacher - General Education) and FTE under the appropriate school, and also indicate extra duties (DS05 Extracurricular) with no FTE. "Base salary" does not include a stipend for the extra duty, if any.
c. A full time regular education teacher is also assigned to teach a driver’s education course afterschool, which requires an educator license. Report the teacher’s position (TC01 Teacher - General Education) and FTE under the appropriate school, and also indicate extra duties (DS11 Extra Duty-Educator or Professional License Required) with no FTE. "Base salary" does not include a stipend for the extra duty, if any.
d. A full time regular education teacher is also assigned to be an aide for the afterschool program, which does not require an educator or professional license. Report the teacher’s position (TC01 Teacher - General Education) and FTE under the appropriate school, and also indicate extra duties (DS12 Extra Duty-No License Required) with no FTE. "Base salary" does not include a stipend for the extra duty, if any.
