INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Atkins

                        FEBRUARY 4, 2013

   An act to add Section 45133.5 to the Education Code, relating to
school employees.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 226, as introduced, Atkins. Classified employees: workweek.
   Existing law generally prescribes the workweek of a classified
school employee to be 40 hours, and prescribes the workday to be 8
hours. Existing law also authorizes the governing board of a school
district or a county superintendent of schools to establish a
9-hour-per-day, 80-hour-per-2-week work schedule, subject to the
concurrence of the employee organization, or, absent an employee
organization, subject to the concurrence of the affected employee.
Existing law generally provides for the payment of overtime
compensation for hours worked in excess of the required workday,
except as specified.
   This bill would also authorize the governing board of a school
district or a county superintendent of schools to establish a
12-hour-per-day, 80-hour-per-2-week work schedule for school police
officer dispatchers, subject to the concurrence of the employee
organization or the employee. The bill would require the payment of
overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of the required
workday, as specified, and would require the workweek to be defined
so that no employee will be required to work more than 40 hours
during any given workweek.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 45133.5 is added to the Education Code, to

   45133.5.  (a) Notwithstanding Sections 45127 and 45131, a
governing board of a school district or a county superintendent of
schools may establish a 12-hour-per-day, 80-hour-per-2-week work
schedule for school police officer dispatchers, provided the
establishment of the work schedule has the concurrence of the
employee organization, or in the absence of an employee organization,
the concurrence of the affected employee.
   (b) When a 12-hour-per-day, 80-hour-per-2-week work schedule is
established, it shall consist of seven work days, six of which shall
be 12-hour days, and one of which shall be an eight-hour day. The
overtime rate shall be paid for all hours worked in excess of the
required workday, at a rate equal to one and one-half times the
regular rate of pay for the employee designated and authorized to
perform the work.
   (c) When a 12-hour-per-day, 80-hour-per-2-week work schedule is
established, the workweek shall be defined so that no employee will
be required to work more than 40 hours during any given workweek.
