If in the eyes of the government they are two separate individuals, then employers must abide by all labor and wage laws. Which includes paying EVERY employee. If they are two separate individuals in the eyes of the government, then they are two separate employees. It’s not hard math, it’s not subjective…
most districts are pretty tight on money
Does that mean they can legally not pay their teachers? No.
There are other comments in this thread explaining that they are paid separately and have some weird part-time deal. Once again, your insinuation would just mean that they’re never hired to a school district. No money. Congrats.
Grow up. You’re acting as if I’m saying they don’t deserve money. I don’t make the laws, pal. You’re the one that’s saying school boards shouldn’t hire people
there are other comments
Oh thank goodness! We can absolutely trust what someone on the internet has commented! At least the labor laws you can look up yourself and verify lol
I’m sure the school district has no legal staff and went into this whole contract completely blind on the legality of what they’re doing and are fucking over these people in a high publicity situation. You’re totally right and they’re totally wrong, sure dude. Are you an employment lawyer?
I’m not saying they SHOULDNT, I’m saying there is absolutely no way to justify it when you could pay one person half as much.
