Mailing address

o

Telephone numbers

o

Name and number of dependents, and

o

o Individuals to be contacted in the event of an emergency.

o An employee’s personnel data should be accurate and current at all times.

Employee Performance Review and Planning Sessions

Supervisors will conduct performance reviews and planning sessions with all regular full-time and regular part- time employees annually. Supervisors may conduct informal performance reviews and planning sessions more often if they choose. Performance reviews and planning sessions are for the supervisor and the employee to discuss his/her current job tasks, encourage and recognize attributes, and discuss positive, purposeful approaches for meeting work-related goals. Together, employee and supervisor discuss ways in which the employee can accomplish goals or learn new skills. The planning sessions allow for the employee and his/her supervisor to make and agree on new goals, skills, and areas for improvement.

Levine Academy reserves the right to enact hiring and wage increase freezes as budget constraints require.

Wage and salary increases are not tied to annual reviews; rather, increases are proposed during the yearly contracting period and are dependent on the school’s financial circumstances.

Outside Employment

Employees may hold outside jobs in non-related businesses or professions if:

o The work will not interfere with your responsibilities as a system employee or interfere with the independence of your judgment in the exercise of official duties. o The outside employment is not in conflict with the interests of the school. o Your outside employment does not violate the provisions of your employee contract. o As long as the employee meets the performance standards of their job description with Levine Academy. Unless an alternative work schedule has been approved by Levine Academy, employees will be subject to Levine Academy’s scheduling demands, regardless of any existing outside work assignments.

Tutoring students from your class or from the grade levels you teach will not be accepted as outside employment.

Any tutoring arrangement, made by a teacher, an administrator, or a staff member, is always subject to approval by the Head of School, and the Head of School may disallow and request cessation of any tutoring arrangement with a Levine Academy student that is deemed to be, in the judgment of the Head of School, in conflict with the school’s mission, or may compromise the employee’s/tutor’s ability to exercise his/her responsibilities, or may in any way jeopardize the school’s aim to establish professional, unbiased, fair, and appropriate employee-student relationships that in no way will veer or detract from delivering on the instructional and educational benefits that Levine provides to all of its students. Levine Academy’s office space, equipment, and materials are not to be used for outside employment. Duty of Loyalty and non-compete clauses are to be adhered to when accepting an outside position.
