This happened many years ago, in Cranston. I should know--I'm a retired Cranston teacher. We got paid all throughout the year, every two weeks, and if we wished, we could elect to have city pay us our salary through summer, as well, in the same bi-weekly checks, apportioned over 28 weeks. Those who got termination notices tried to collect, when they realized the loophole, but that loophole was closed. Teachers are salaried employees for the year (even if they do not work in the summer); their salary is computed on the entire year. For that reason, I don't understand those who are terminated collecting benefits, once they receive termination notices. Seems some try to capitalize on a technicality. But then again, I could be wrong. After all, I'm one who worked 30 years, went out on belief I'd be getting the COLA (contractually in place, for years) and then Labor Board changed the contract after the fact, and I and countless others lost the COLA, while other retirees (judges, etc.) never lost a dime.So ethics and fair play? Don't know if it's across the board...
