TRI Contracts
An employee has three mandatory days connected with a TRI contract. The work for these days is assumed to occur during the school year in addition to the normal number of works days.
The method for reporting TRI pay is dependent on the employer business practices, contractual agreements, whether the employer tracks time with the TRI responsibility, and whether the employee is full-time or part-time
Payments for Responsibility Only
The
employer pays the TRI contract over the school year with no additional hours and the employee receives additional compensation as a portion of pay for each day of the school year.
