Board Discussion - Acceptance of accrued sick time from former employers

as a charter school it is not required to accept the accrued sick time, but we are wanting to create a policy to look at which direction we want to do.  
Options:
  • Leave as it is.
  • accept as an incentive for retirement for experienced employees.
  • limit how much time will be accepted.
  • restrict when the time can be used.
What is the cost to Encore to accept the hours of the in coming employee.  What ever is accepted would come out of Encore.
When would we want to have this go into effect.  Maybe at the beginning of 2022-23 school year.
Is there cost differences between the cost of CalPers vs CalStrs.

 

 

Gather the information and cost for the next meeting to be presented.  work with Jerry Simmons
