BOARD POLICY

Section G Personnel File: GDB

NON-CERTIFIED STAFF CONTRACTS AND COMPENSATION

Non-certified staff employees are employees-at-will pursuant to SDCL 60-4-4 (i.e., an

employment having no specified term may be terminated at the will of either party on notice to

the other, unless otherwise provided by statute).

Non-certified staff employment contracts will identify the employee’s hourly rate of pay.

Any reference to pay on a monthly basis or over a nine or twelve month period is given in order

that the employee may be aware of the monthly and annual compensation should neither party

terminate the contract. The Employment Agreement will additionally identify applicable

employment benefits. Non-certified staff employees shall not work in excess of forty (40) hours

per work week without prior written approval from employee’s supervisor.

The Board will establish the rate of pay for the full-time, part-time and substitute support

staff, including but not limited to secretarial staff, aides, technology, custodians, maintenance, bus

drivers and food service workers.

In establishing salaries for support staff personnel, the Board will take into account the

responsibilities of the position, the qualifications needed, past experience of the individual, and

years of service in the district.

BOARD POLICY

Section G Personnel File: GDPD

SUSPENSION AND DISMISSAL OF SUPPORT STAFF MEMBERS

Employment relationships in in South Dakota may be “terminated at will”, which

means an employer does not need a specific reason to fire an employee. This is the same

concept as an employee not needing a specific reason to quit.

Any employee will be immediately discharged for dishonesty, theft, drunkenness and

immoral conduct.

Upon termination, the employee’s final check will be calculated based upon the last

day worked.

The Board will ensure administrators assist personnel to adjust to their positions and to

perform their duties satisfactorily. Reasonable effort will be made to avoid dismissing personnel

at any level.

When an employee is charged with misconduct, insubordination or unsatisfactory/poor

performance, he/she may be temporarily suspended by the Superintendent until the charges are

investigated. If the charges are unfounded, the employee will be reinstated. If not, the employee

will be disciplined, up to and including dismissal.

If the employee is dissatisfied with the Superintendent's action, the employee may appeal

to the School Board for a review of his/her case.
