Education Committee
AN ACT CONCERNING PARAPROFESSIONALS
SUMMARY: State law requires employers to pay all wages (1) weekly on a regular pay day and (2) no more than eight days after the end of the pay period the wages cover. This act allows local and regional boards of education and unions representing their paraprofessional employees to establish different wage payment schedules in their collective bargaining agreements. Boards and unions already had authority to establish different pay schedules for certified board employees, such as teachers and school administrators.
The act applies to employees who work for boards of education as instructional or administrative assistants in positions that do not require State Board of Education certificates.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 2003
