[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this calendar policy mean that syphax employees will get paid for all these holidays? s teacher on AEM shared her public comment about syphax getting paid for all these new days but teachers aren’t.[/quote]

Yes. Syphax and 12 month employees work like 7 more days than 10 mos employees and get paid for the entire year. It’s a disgrace. [/quote]

This is insane and seriously gives teachers no reason to stay in the classroom vs. trying to get a Syphax job.  I will say that not everyone at Syphax is a 12 month employee and not all 12 month employees are at Syphax but still. It's infuriating for teachers many of whom work more outside of contract hours that many of the 12 month employees.[/quote]

I couldn’t figure out if the teacher was arguing for more paid days in those 10 months, or whether we should be lessening the amount of paid days for Syphax. The latter I can get behind- the former will likely be shot down out the gate as too expensive. It’s clear though that the PTO days for Syphax employees is what is driving this calendar policy because it makes sense for absolutely no one else. [/quote]
