13th and 14th Checks for All Certified Speech-Language Pathologists

Language in the 1968 code did not intend to exclude SLPs.  In fact, they didn't exist.  It did, however, intend to provide 13th and 14th checks to employees involved in classroom education.  Since that time, the position of SLP has been created and includes classroom education in its job responsibilities.  Moreover, the 2001 codes mandates that ALL certified employees receive 13th and 14th checks.


We, the SLPs of MC Schools feel very strongly about this issue and are prepared to take additional steps as necessary to ensure that our voice is heard and our purpose fulfilled.
