(1) The minimum monthly pay for each service employee whose
employment is for a period of more than three and one-half hours
a day shall be at least the amounts indicated in the "state
minimum pay scale pay grade" and the minimum monthly pay for each
service employee whose employment is for a period of three and
one-half hours or less a day shall be at least one-half the amount indicated in the "state minimum pay scale pay grade" set
forth in this section.
(2) An additional ten dollars per month shall be added to
the minimum monthly pay of each service employee who holds a high
school diploma or its equivalent.
(3) An additional ten dollars per month shall also be added
to the minimum monthly pay of each service employee who holds
twelve college hours or comparable credit obtained in a trade or
vocational school as approved by the state board.
(4) When any part of a school service employee's daily shift
of work is performed between the hours of six o'clock p.m. and
five o'clock a.m. the following day, the employee shall be paid
no less than an additional ten dollars per month and one half of
the pay shall be paid with local funds.
(5) Any service employee required to work on any legal
school holiday shall be paid at a rate one and one-half times the
employee's usual hourly rate.
(6) Any full-time service personnel required to work in
excess of their normal working day during any week which contains
a school holiday for which they are paid shall be paid for the
additional hours or fraction of the additional hours at a rate
of one and one-half times their usual hourly rate and paid
entirely from county board funds.
(7) No service employee may have his or her daily work
schedule changed during the school year without the employee's
written consent, and the employee's required daily work hours may
not be changed to prevent the payment of time and one-half wages
or the employment of another employee.
(8) The minimum hourly rate of pay for extra duty
assignments as defined in section eight-b of this article shall
be no less than one seventh of the employee's daily total salary
for each hour the employee is involved in performing the

Provided, That an

the county board and by the affirmative vote of a two-thirds
majority of the regular full-time employees within that
classification category of employment within that county:
Provided, however, That the vote shall be by secret ballot if so
requested by a service personnel employee within that
classification category within that county. The salary for any
fraction of an hour the employee is involved in performing the
assignment shall be prorated accordingly. When performing extra

(9) The minimum pay for any service personnel employees
engaged in the removal of asbestos material or related duties
required for asbestos removal shall be their regular total daily

the employee's regular employment county for asbestos removal and
an additional thirty dollars per each day the employee is engaged
in asbestos removal and related duties. The additional pay for
asbestos removal and related duties shall be payable entirely
from county funds. Before service personnel employees may be
utilized in the removal of asbestos material or related duties,
they shall have completed a federal Environmental Protection Act approved training program and be licensed. The employer shall
provide all necessary protective equipment and maintain all
records required by the Environmental Protection Act.
(10) For the purpose of qualifying for additional pay as
provided in section eight, article five of this chapter, an aide
shall be considered to be exercising the authority of a
supervisory aide and control over pupils if the aide is required
to supervise, control, direct, monitor, escort or render service
to a child or children when not under the direct supervision of
certificated professional personnel within the classroom,
library, hallway, lunchroom, gymnasium, school building, school
grounds or wherever supervision is required. For purposes of
this section, "under the direct supervision of certificated
professional personnel" means that certificated professional
personnel is present, with and accompanying the aide.
