Non-benefitted positions include contractual employment and substitute teaching. When a benefitted employee resigns, they must resign from all WCPS positions for the 26 week break in service period.

If an employee retires and elects WCPS Retiree Health Insurance then the 26 week break in service rule does not apply.
