Contract packet details insurance contributions, holiday rights and sick leave changes for paraprofessionals
Summary
The packet spells out employer contributions to the district insurance plans (examples: employer contributes $1,175 for employee+one in 2024–25 to the high-deductible plan) and multiple changes to holiday and sick leave provisions, as well as clarifications on FMLA interaction and overtime definitions.
The contract text attached to the board packet specifies employer contributions to the high-deductible insurance plan for eligible employees: for the 2024–25 contract year the packet lists $1,175.00 for employee+one and $1,368.15 for family coverage (with increases in subsequent years to $1,210.25 and $1,409.19). The packet also clarifies insurance eligibility tied to hours worked (examples: 1,040/1,008 annual hours thresholds) and how Wayzata Kids hours may be combined to determine eligibility.
Holiday entitlements are specified by employment length and schedule (12-month, 11-month, 10-month, and hourly thresholds), with floating holiday rules and conditions for eligibility. Sick leave accrues at the rate of one day per month with a 140-day accumulation cap; the packet includes a sick leave bank MOU establishing a voluntary donation-based sick leave bank to provide up to 60 days per school year when eligibility criteria are met. The contract also restates that eligible leaves may interact with the Family and Medical Leave Act (up to 12 weeks) and that the District will maintain group insurance for employees on FMLA during that period.
