Senate Bill No. 2496
BY: Senator(s) Barnett
AMEND under line 169 by adding the following:
SECTION *. Section 37-9-39, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows:
37-9-39.
(1) All school districts shall process * * * a bimonthly payroll for
employees * * *, consistent with the provisions
of Section 37-157-103(1), except for December, when salaries or wages shall be
paid by the last working day. Salaries or wages shall be paid at a minimum on
a monthly basis. The standard contract for school district employees
prescribed by the State Board of Education shall provide that school district
employees shall earn a salary payable in equal monthly or bimonthly
installments beginning in the first month of employment, regardless of the
number of days worked in any particular month by the employee. Any employee
failing to complete the contractual obligation of service, and who receives
payment in excess of the installment for the period which such employee ceases
employment with the school district, shall become liable immediately to the
school board of the employing district for the sum of all amounts received in
payment less the corresponding amount of any compensation paid for which
service has been rendered, plus interest accruing at the current Stafford Loan
rate at the time the person discontinues his or her service.
(2) Any school employee whose employment ends during a school term, regardless of the reason(s) the employment ended, shall be paid salary or wages only for that portion of the school term that employee actually worked. Nothing in this subsection (2) shall be construed to entitle any employee to payment of salary or wages when no work has been performed.
FURTHER, AMEND the title to conform.
