Looking at coverage rate makes me wonder why teaching is the only job that pays you less than your regular rate to work overtime.
Sore subject. There’s ongoing inequity with coverage rates, which are paid out per class period covered (first one is free). The contract language looks like it goes back to the days when everyone’s period was 42 or 43 minutes.
Fast forward to today. No one has a 42 minute period. 45, 48, 55, 62, but our contract language doesn’t distinguish between them.
Should be addressed.
