AB215,1,2
1An Act to repeal 118.215 of the statutes;
relating to: the payment of salaries
2to school district employes during energy emergencies.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, if an energy emergency results in the reduction of fuel
supplies that requires public school operations to be curtailed or schools to be closed,
school district employes must nevertheless receive full payment of salary or wages
under their employment contracts.
This bill eliminates the above statutory requirement. However, school districts
continue to be bound by existing collective bargaining agreements affecting
represented employes and any decision by a school board that is primarily related
to the wages, hours or conditions of employment of employes in a collective
bargaining unit must first be bargained collectively with the representative of the
bargaining unit. See Unified School District No. 1 of Racine county v. Wisconsin
Employment Relations Commission, 81 Wis.2d 89 (1977).
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB215, s. 1
3Section
1. 118.215 of the statutes is repealed.
