Legal Research Home > California Lawyer > Education Code > California Education Code Section 87815

A person in an academic position who serves less than a full
school year shall receive as salary only an amount that bears the
same ratio to the established annual salary for the position as the
number of working days he or she serves bears to the total number of
working days plus institutes in the annual school term, and any other
day when the employee is required by the governing board to be
present at the schools of the district.  Notwithstanding any
provisions of this section to the contrary, a person in an academic
position who serves a complete semester shall receive not less than
one-half of the established annual salary for the position.  This
section shall not be so construed as to prevent the payment of
compensation to a person while on leave of absence when the payment
of the compensation is authorized by law.
   In the event any such person dies during the school year, his or
her estate shall be entitled to receive, as salary owed to the
decedent, an amount that bears the same ratio to the established
annual salary for the position as the number of working days he or
she served bears to the total number of working days plus institutes
in the annual school term, and any other day when the employee was
required by the governing board to be present at the schools of the
district, less any salary paid to the decedent prior to his or her
death.
