The vote on the state Department of Education’s temporary hazard pay settlement offer, initially slated to take place last week, is still on hold as we work with the DOE to clarify the required workdays to receive the proposed payouts.
We held an initial meeting this week with the DOE to discuss the workday requirements. Although we have yet to reach a resolution, we believe the DOE is willing to recalculate and adjust the workday requirements. We expect to meet again next week. After we finalize the details with them, we will share any amendments to the offer and an updated voting timeline.
As we previously reported, workdays when DOE schools and office were completely shut down at the beginning of the pandemic in the spring of 2020 weren’t factored into the total required to meet the two levels of hazard pay awards. Other than employees who were required to report to work to perform essential functions, the DOE directed all other employees to work remotely. The loss of these workdays appeared to significantly affect the number of employees who would qualify for the higher payout amount.
