The duty day can vary depending on title. Teacher, PSRP, school-based, office based, salaried, hourly, exempt and nonexempt employees each have different negotiated duty day lengths, lunch periods, and break schedules. Regardless of how your day breaks down, it is important to know what your negotiated rights are.
