[SchoolFinance] EPL Question

Sun Sep 17 09:59:50 EDT 2023

Sue - 
We don't have a CBA at MSMA.

For tracking - We use IV/ERP Pro at MSMA.  We created a "Specified Use" field that our staff have to use to indicate EPL or Non EPL. All leaves run concurrent to EPL other than Bereavement.  So essentially the first 40 hours of leave used each year after July 1 is charged to "EPL" - then all other leave throughout the rest of the year is consider "Other Non EPL"

Hope that helps.

Deb

1. Would any of you be willing to share with me the wording in your EPL that is in your bargaining contracts regarding EPL?

2. Also, do you use an EPL leave form either a paper form or on an employee portal and do you double post EPL to other leave banks for those that already have leave (like sick time) in order to track sick time used as EPL?

3. Did your school dept increase the # of personal days in order to not have to also track EPL? Or did you do away with separate categories and just lump leave time into something like Paid Leave?

You can send the info to me directly if you prefer.

We did not give additional time due to EPL, *except* for those that did not earn ANY paid leave prior to its implementation (ex. subs or part-time employees).

For SUBS of part-time employees, we created an EPL leave code that calculates and adds EPL for each hour worked.  It is not front-loaded, it's earned as they work.

All others are front-loaded, same as their usual paid leave:
We converted the personal days to the equivalent number of hours as EPL.
No more personal days.  ex. 2 Personal days are now 16 hours of EPL instead..
For school year full-time employees, we converted 3 days of sick leave (in addition to the former personal leave) to add up to 40 hours.  So they do not get MORE time, we just converted some of the existing leave they had to an EPL category of leave, which provides for it being used on an hourly basis.  So If they previously had 10 sick days and 2 personal days, now they have 7 sick days and 40 hours of EPL. No more personal.

For Year-round employees who earn vacation, we converted 2 personal days and 3 vacation days to equal 40 hours of EPL.  So instead of getting 10 days of vaca and 2 personal days, they now get 7 days vaca and 40 hours of EPL.

Attached is an example of the language in our Teachers' CBA.
