2. Holiday Hours
• December Time Off: K12 offices will be
officially closed 12/25/12 – 12/28/12. Most
fall semester courses will have been
completed and Winter Break will be in effect
during this time; therefore, contractors are
not required to work Monday – Friday 12/24–
12/28. Subsequently, contractors will not be
approved for any time or units submitted for
the pay period of 12/22 – 12/28.
3. Holiday Hours
• January Time Off: K12 offices will be officially
closed New Years Day, January 1st, 2013. K12
will be open on New Year’s Eve. Contractors
will submit a timecard and be paid as usual
based on a 5 day workweek, but are not
required to work on January 1st, 2013.
4. Special Notes
• Grading: Although many of your students will
probably be taking time off as well, you may have
some who are working over the holidays. Please
be ready to spend some time grading when you
return.
• Final grades on 12/24 and 12/31: These are not
K12 holidays, so FTE employees will be entering
final grades as needed. Contractors may enter
final grades from 12/24 end dates when they
return on 12/31.
• Course message: Stay tuned for information
about a standard message to post in your
courses.
5. Timecard instructions: (Contractors only)
• Pay period: 12/15/12 – 12/21/12 *** EARLY SUBMISSION REQUIRED on
December 19th NOTE***Timecards for this pay period are due by 5 pm EST on
Wednesday December 19th. Contractor timecards submitted correctly by this
deadline will be paid out on 12/28/12. Timecards submitted incorrectly or after
this designated deadline will be processed between 12/31/12 and 1/3/12 for
payment on January 4th. Since this timecard will be submitted two days prior to the
end of the official work week, please make every effort to balance your total
weekly hours worked based on your course load so that you meet the wage
requirement formula of: Total IQN units divided by 3 = maximum work hours to
submit on your timecard. If you expect to encounter excessive hours with your
workload this pay period please contact your Instructional Manager and copy
IQNHELP@k12.com for assistance to balance the workload.

6. Escalation Process
• Please see the revised Escalation Process
notes. I’m also attaching the Action Plan
Matrix (not revised).
7. Need help?
• The K12 Service Desk is equipped to handle a
good volume of phone calls for our employees.
• They have found resolution times to be much
faster via phone (855-K12-HELP) than by email,
due to the reduction in the amount of back and
forth needed via phone compared to an email
ticket.
• Therefore, we strongly encourage employees to
call Service Desk instead of emailing. This
number is not for students or mentors!
8. Student Count Survey
• I apologize again for the confusion!
Hopefully we’ll all be on the same page now
