§ 44848 Reemployment Date Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a school employee quits or is fired for a good reason, and then gets hired again, their new start date is when they first got paid after being rehired.
  • •If a school employee stops working because there aren’t enough students or the program ends, their original hire date stays the same if the law says it’s not a real break in work.
  • •The rules are different if the employee was rehired before July 1, 1947, or after that date.

Example

A teacher gets fired for being late too many times but is later rehired by the same school.

When the teacher starts working again, their new hire date isn’t their old one—it’s the first day they got paid after being rehired.

§ 44848 Reemployment Date Rules

When any certificated employee shall have resigned or been dismissed for cause and shall thereafter have been reemployed by the board, his date of employment shall be deemed to be the date on which he first accepted reemployment (if reemployed before July 1, 1947) or rendered paid service (if reemployed after June 30, 1947) after his reemployment. When an employee’s services are terminated for lack of enrollment or discontinuance of service or are otherwise interrupted in a manner declared by law not to constitute a break in service, his original order of employment shall stand. (Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
