New leave for rehired retired teachers
Retired teachers rehired on contract by the Guam Department of Education to fill vacancies get paid leave. You accrue 4 hours of annual leave and 4 hours of sick leave each pay period. To estimate yearly hours, multiply 4 by your pay periods for each type of leave.
Limits on leave for rehired retired teachers
Your leave rate stays fixed and does not rise with more years of service. You can carry unused leave for only one fiscal year; any extra is forfeited. You do not get paid for unused leave when you leave the job. Leave under this rule does not count for retirement service credit and cannot be used in the leave sharing program.
Education Department must set procedures in 90 days
The Superintendent of the Guam Department of Education must set procedures within 90 days of enactment. This lets the department apply the new leave rules for rehired retired teachers.
