The shortage of teachers has impacted districts across the state of California, and districts may be considering compensating current employees for performing additional creditable service or teaching additional students. These payments must meet the definition of creditable compensation to be reportable to CalSTRS.
This Employer Circular addresses the most common situations in which we see additional creditable compensation being earned by current school employees associated with the shortage of teachers; it is not meant to be considered a comprehensive list.
This document is a Resource that interprets and clarifies the applicability of creditable compensation and creditable service laws. Learn more about Employer Resources.
