Example 1
10 or 11 Month Educator

A teacher is hired at the annual salary rate of $25,000 per year. Even though she works just 10 or 11 months, she will be paid every month throughout the year.

Calculations:

• $25,000 ÷ 12 = $2083 per month
• She receives $2083 per month (even through the summer month(s) when she is not working.)

Example 2
10 Month Educator Starting Work After August 1st

A $25,000 10-month/year teacher starts work on September 1st. His monthly rate of pay is still calculated by dividing $25,000 by 12, so he receives $2083 per month through May. Since he is working only 11 months, however, his last month's pay must be adjusted in the following way:

• He has receved 9 months of his 12 months of pay by the end of May (paid Sept. through May).
  $2083 x 9 = $18,747
• His contract is for 10 months per year, so he is due only his yearly salary prorated over 10 months. His final month's pay must be adjusted for this difference.
  • $25,000 ÷ 10 = $2500 per month (monthly amount due)
  • $2500 x 9 (Sept.-May) = $22,500 (total amount due)
  • $22,500 - $18,747 = $3753 (difference between amount due and amount received as of May, his actual final month of teaching)
  • For June, he receives his regular $2083 pay.
  • For July, he is only entitled to the remaining balance of his 10 month pay, so he will receive the balance by calculating:
    $3753 (total contract pay due following his May paycheck)
    - $2083 (amount received in June)
    = $1670 (check to be issued in July as the "balance of contract" pay)

Example 3
10 or 11 Month Support Staff

A teacher's aide is hired under the regular Career Service pay system at the annual salary rate of $25,000 per year for 10 months' work.

Calculations:

• $25,000 ÷ 10 = $2500 per month
• She receives $2500 per month during the 10 months that she works for the school and receives no pay through the summer months when she is not working.
