DAILY UPDATE #39 -- 5/07/2020
 

  • AASD OFFICE CLOSURE 

    AASD will be sending out a Daily Update, Monday-Friday, throughout the school closure period.  The Weekly Update will continue as usual on Thursdays with the typical news and information for AASD members.  The AASD Office will remain closed during the period of time the schools/district are closed.  AASD staff will be working remotely and can be reached at the contact information at the end of this Update.

    AASD has created a Google Form for AASD Members to report issues, questions or concerns regarding work-related issues and the COVID-19 virus.  Any issues, questions or concerns submitted via the Google form will be shared daily with the District.  AASD will then share the answers to issues, questions or concerns submitted as those answers are received from the district.  You may also share your gratitude for another AASD member, district personnel, etc. via the same link.

    The link to share issues/questions/concerns/gratitude is:

    Please do not share this link outside of AASD membership (classified and certificated management/supervisors).  The link will be active until this crisis is over.  PLEASE CHECK THE DISTRICT’S WEBSITE TO ENSURE YOUR ISSUE/QUESTION/ CONCERN HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED THERE.

    NOTE:  All previous AASD Daily Updates and Weekly Updates are located on the AASD Website www.aasdcs.org if you need to refer back to them for information.
     
  • Q and A (Thursday, May 7, 2020)   (Questions were submitted by AASD members; the answers are from the District.  AASD publishes the answers as they are received from the District.)

    Q:  If I am one that is physically required to report to work during this time – thus earning time and a half – does the additional salary apply towards my earnings with the retirement system?
    A:  (Answer provided by Sue Weir, Payroll Director)   For classified employees in CalPERS, hazard pay such as the time and a half does count towards earnings with CalPERS.  Hazard pay is an acceptable form of earnings according to CalPERS.  Overtime is not.   For those in CalSTRS, hazard pay is not considered earnings under CalSTRS.
