Credit for leave of absence need not be accrued before taking such leave by the employee and such leave of absence may be taken at any time during the year. However, a new employee of a school district shall not be eligible to take more than six days, or the proportionate amount to which the employee may be entitled under this section, until the first day of the calendar month after completion of six months of active service with the district.(b) If the employee does not take the full amount of leave allowed in any year under this section the amount not taken shall be accumulated from year to year with such additional days as the governing board may allow.(c) The governing board of each school district shall adopt rules and regulations requiring and prescribing the manner of proof of illness or injury for the purpose of this section.

Section 45251 of the Education Code is amended to read:45251. In a unified school district with an average daily attendance in excess of 250,000, the governing board may authorize payment to members of the commission an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) per meeting, and not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) per month.SEC. 11. Section 45308 of the Education Code is amended to read:45308. (a) Classified employees shall be subject to layoff for lack of work or lack of funds. If a classified employee is laid off, the order of layoff within the class shall be determined by length of service.

Nothing in this section shall preclude the governing board of a school district from entering into an agreement with the exclusive representative of the classified employees that defines length of service to mean the hire date. For purposes of this section, in school districts with an average daily attendance of 250,000 or more, for service commencing or continuing after January 1, 1986, length of service shall be determined by the date of hire.(2) If a governing board enters into an agreement with the exclusive representative of classified employees that defines length of service to mean the hire date, the governing board may define length of service to mean the hire date for a classification of employee not represented by any exclusive bargaining unit.(c) This section does not preclude the granting of length of service credit for time spent on unpaid illness leave, unpaid maternity leave, unpaid family care leave, or unpaid industrial accident leave. In addition, for military leave of absence, length of service credit shall be granted pursuant to Section 45297. In the event an employee returns to work following any other unpaid leave of absence, no further seniority shall be accrued for the time not worked.(d) Hours in paid status shall not be interpreted to mean any service performed before entering into a probationary or permanent status in the classified service of the school district except service in restricted positions as provided in this chapter.SEC. 12. The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique circumstances facing the Los Angeles Unified School District, including being the second largest school district in the country and the largest school district in California. |

Reemployment shall be in order of seniority.(b) (1) For purposes of this section, in school districts with an average daily attendance below 250,000 for service commencing or continuing after July 1, 1971, length of service means all hours in paid status, whether during the school year, a holiday, recess, or during any period that a school is in session or closed, but does not include any hours compensated solely on an overtime basis as provided for in Section 45128. Nothing in this section shall preclude the governing board of a school district from entering into an agreement with the exclusive representative of the classified employees that defines length of service to mean the hire date. For purposes of this section, in school districts with an average daily attendance of 250,000 or more, for service commencing or continuing after January 1, 1986, length of service shall be determined by the date of hire.(2) If a governing board enters into an agreement with the exclusive representative of classified employees that defines length of service to mean the hire date, the governing board may define length of service to mean the hire date for a classification of employee not represented by any exclusive bargaining unit.(c) This section does not preclude the granting of length of service credit for time spent on unpaid illness leave, unpaid maternity leave, unpaid family care leave, or unpaid industrial accident leave. In addition, for military leave of absence, length of service credit shall be granted pursuant to Section 45297. In the event an employee returns to work following any other unpaid leave of absence, no further seniority shall be accrued for the time not worked.(d) Hours in paid status shall not be interpreted to mean any service performed before entering into a probationary or permanent status in the classified service of the school district except service in restricted positions as provided in this chapter. |
