Hey DB,

I respectfully but strongly disagree with your contention.

I work in exchange for an agreed salary level. If I've done my time as agreed, then I have earned my salary and no school of any description has any justification for withholding it from me. My suitability for long-term employment has no bearing upon the salary I have already earned.

If the school doesn't like me, they can fire me and replace me. Pay me for the hours I worked and then show me the door...I lose my contract completion bonus and other incentives.

But I see salary in a different category. Again, when I've put in the time, I've earned it and it should then be mine free and clear. There is absolutely no viable excuse for keeping it from me.

School owners play these little games to help keep their staff docile and helpless...and to increase their chances of getting our labor on the cheap. These practices are an invitation to abuse, and should be shunned at any institution of ny kind.

Regards,
Raoul
