§ 45039 Twelve-Month Teacher Payment

• •Schools can pay teachers and staff in 12 equal payments, one each month.
• •Teachers get paid even during months they don’t teach, like summer.
• •This rule helps schools spread out paychecks evenly all year.

A teacher works from August to June but gets paid the same amount every month, including July.

Even though the teacher isn’t teaching in July, the school still sends their regular paycheck at the end of the month.
