By-agreement appointees who are paid a flat-rate amount for their work, contingent on work to be rendered, and who are unable to work due to a qualifying COVID-19 reason, are eligible for the COVID-related paid leaves (currently, Extended PSL). Paid leave for by-agreement appointees is to be based on a daily or hourly rate, calculated based on the duration and amount of the agreement, not to exceed the pay amount established in the terms of the employment agreement. Note this is conditional to any terms of an employment agreement that address the contingent nature of pay, as those terms shall remain intact, including stipulations regarding cancellation of agreements, such as for lack of enrollment.
