The District will be responsible for managing all unit member cash out requests, including processing and ensuring correct payments are made. Each employee is responsible for ensuring they submit their cash out request by deadlines listed in this Side Letter and are responsible for ensuring they are submitting requests for hours available in their accrual bank(s). Any cash out requests made by the employee that exceed their available balance(s) will be rejected and only approved for up to the available balance. In the event of an employee being cashed out for hours beyond what was available in the employee’s accrual bank(s), the employee will be responsible for the request and understands that a negative balance reverts to a pay dock for using hours that were not available. Unit members should be mindful of the time it takes to process a deduction to their accrual bank(s) if they previously used vacation days and then submitted a request to cash out vacation days as this is an example of when a negative balance could occur, which will result in a pay dock.
