§ 87771 Employee Leave Compensation Adjustment

Key Takeaways

  • •If an employee leaves their job early, they have to pay back some of the money they got for their leave.
  • •The amount they pay back depends on how much time they didn't work compared to the total time they agreed to work.
  • •If the employee gave a bond (like a promise to pay), the money from that bond gets split between them and the school based on how much time they actually worked.

Example

A teacher agrees to work for 10 months but leaves after 7 months.

The teacher got paid for the full 10 months but only worked 7. They have to pay back 30% of the money because they didn't work 3 out of the 10 months. If they gave a bond, 70% of that bond money goes to them, and 30% goes to the school.

§ 87771 Employee Leave Compensation Adjustment

If the employee does not serve for the entire period of service agreed upon under Section 87770, the amount of compensation paid for the leave of absence shall be reduced by an amount which bears the same proportion to the total compensation as the amount of time which was not served bears to the total amount of time agreed upon. If the employee furnished an indemnity bond, upon default, the proceeds of the bond shall be divided between the employee and the community college district in the same proportion as the actual amount of time served bears to the amount of time agreed upon. (Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
