For substitute work performed from the16th through the end of the month, the timesheet should be submitted to the timekeeper on the 1st of the month following the month in which the work was performed.

The rate of pay will be $31 per hour for eligible hours in the 2022-23 school year.

For example, if substitute teacher work was performed the 1st – 15th of the month, pay will be included in the check at the end of the month. If work was performed between the 16th and the end of the month, the pay will be included in the check on the 15th of the following month.
