These individuals have their annual income prorated over a 12-month period. Additional earnings, such as for summer work, are added to the prorated amount during the time additional earnings are received. Although a person may not have signed a new annual contract, he is still considered employed under an annual contract when the contract is automatically renewable, or when he has implied renewal rights. Implied renewal rights are most commonly associated with school contracts. This item does not apply during strike and disaster situations when the other party to the contract cannot fulfill it, or when labor disputes interrupt the flow of earnings specified in the contract.
