Article IX
TERMINATION OF CONTRACT

Section A. Termination of Employee

In the event the employment of a Professional Employee shall be terminated as provided by law
prior to the expiration of the school year, the salary to be paid shall be equal in the same proportion as
13
the time of actual duty performed prior to the effective date of termination to the total length of the
contract.

 

Section B. Assessment of Damages

 

1. If a Professional Employee gives notice to terminate their primary Employee contract any time
before its expiration, the Board may impose damages as set forth in this section.
2. Upon receipt of the Professional Employee's notice of early termination, the Board, or its
designee, shall notify the President of the Alliance in writing of such early termination.
3. The Board Secretary shall notify the Professional Employee in writing that the Board will
consider the assessment of damages under this Article and the date of the Board meeting
wherein the consideration will occur. The notice shall be effective if delivered to the
Professional Employee in person at least three (3) days before the open meeting, or mailed,
regular U.S. mail, to the Professional Employee's local residential address at least five (5) days
before the open meeting. The Professional Employee shall be entitled to be present in person
or by a representative and to present information to the Board.
4. If the Professional Employee terminates their primary employment contract after June 10 and
before July 1, the damages assessed shall be Five Hundred Dollars ($500). On or after July 1,
the Professional Employee will be assessed 10% of their gross salary, if the academic contract
is not fulfilled (fall/spring academic semester).
At the conclusion of the open meeting, the Board shall have the final authority to
determine what damages shall be assessed.

 

Section C. Early Notification Incentive

 

If a Professional Employee knows he/she will not return in the fall, it would be helpful if he/she would
notify the President’s Office as soon as possible to allow time to secure a suitable replacement. If the
resignation is received by February 1st, an early notice incentive compensation of Two Hundred Fifty
Dollars ($250) will be paid at the end of the contract period
