Rehired Guam teachers get leave with limits

Retired teachers rehired on contract by Guam’s Department of Education to fill teaching vacancies now earn limited leave. They earn 24 hours of personal leave per school year and 4 hours of sick leave per pay period. These rates do not increase with years of service. Unused leave carries over for only one fiscal year; any excess is then lost. Unused leave cannot be cashed out when teachers leave the job or used for leave sharing. Leave taken does not count toward retirement service credit. The law took effect upon enactment, and the Superintendent must establish procedures within 90 days of enactment.
