Because if you get paid every other Friday, the number of paychecks you get depend on how many Fridays are in a year, not how many full weeks. Just like no months are 6 weeks long but every year has two months with 3 paychecks because there aren't exactly 28 weeks in every month, because 52 doesn't divide neatly into 365, every so often you will get a year with an extra pay day in it. This is not a tragedy or even something worth remarking on, except it seems someone in the teachers' union has decided to treat it as an attempt to shortchange teachers by paying them ... the same amount of money.

Is this one of those years?

69400 / 26 pay periods = $2669 (each paycheck)

In 2019, with the adjustment, Ms. Teachalot will earn $68503

Pay periods 1-17 (17 pay periods)
17 (2669) = $45373

Pay periods 18-26 (9 pay periods)
2669 - 2669 (3.7) = $2570
9 (2570) = $23130
45373 + 23130 = $68503

In 2020, with the adjustment, Ms. Teachalot will earn $67711

Pay periods 1-17
17 (2570) = $43690
Pay periods 18-26
9 ($2669) = $24021

43690 + 24021 = $67711

Over two years, Ms. Teachalot’s income will be 136,214.
Before the adjustment, it would have been 138,800
Over two years, her income will be reduced by $2586
an average of $1293 each year

How is this not a cut?

I can't really be bothered to check your math, but it looks like you left out the extra paycheck.

Once again, for those in the home audience:

(S/26) x 26 = (S/27) x 27.

huh? it is seasonal work. teachers don't work in the summer. that's what makes the pay periods more complicated - because sometimes the summer calendar adjusts to be longer or shorter.

Then why does the email from DCPS say there are 27 pay periods instead of 26?

It's magic. They've altered time. Or you could say that they deleted one of the 26 pay periods and replaced it with what they are calling the "27th pay period" which consists of funds subtracted from the next 26 pay periods

That's our annual leave. We don't have annual leave during the school year.

I'm hoping you're trolling.

It’s not annual leave. It’s unpaid days. They dock our paychecks every time and then give us money in the summer.

Suppose you aren’t a teacher. You get a job that starts January 1 and work exactly 12 months, and your last day is December 31. Your new job starts February 1. So you miss a month of pay, right? Imagine your new box says, “hey, that sucks, we can just start paying you January 1 so you have money.” Your job still starts February 1, so you aren’t making additional money, just getting paid early. They divide your pay over 13 months instead of 12 as a benefit to help you.

I don't disagree - I just want to know if you can do math? I mean, I honestly want to know that.

I’m the posted who listed all the pay periods for two years. Which one are you suggesting they deleted?
