Questions for Karen -

Questions from Stuart:
 * 1) can we share mileage policies? some ESUs start paying from the employee’s home, some say you need to cross into ESU boundaries, some only pay once you reach your first “assignment” and then arbitrarily assign a border district to an employee even if they don’t really work there, etc. I’d like to get a better picture of what we all do as we are considering looking at this
 * 2) how do we all define work day? our handbook states our FTE'd staff are expected to be in the district the same hours district staff are expected to be there - our staff who bill hourly are expected to work at least 7.5 hours (8 hours minus 30 min for lunch) - the issue I have now is some staff due to assignments and accompanying drive time are working really long days and I’m wondering if we should reconsider our expectations - also looking ahead to implementing PSP and open to great ideas from the group about how to make that work


 * • work day - be in the school when the teachers are in the school, homebase - on the road at 7:45, staff need to get in their car by 7:45 at their district,**
 * • mileage - Speech/PT/OT -10 miles Psych - exact miles traveled, home base is the start of mileage, assigned to ESU #7 school in boundary - primary place of business (temporary employee - can be placed anywhere at anytime)**
 * • inclement weather -**
 * - town you live in or town you are traveling to is close you are home**
 * - report to office if the school they are going to is closed**
