DTD/Retired DTD

Red Rover is the substitute management system where you can login with your SFUSD email and password to start accepting assignments. Please see the guide for more information.

Substitute teachers who hold a 30-day sub permit can only sub in one classroom for 30 days, 20 days for Special Education classrooms. If the substitute teacher has a clear CA credential, they can remain past the 30 days for all other classrooms and 20 days for Special education classrooms.

Day to Day and Retired Day to Day substitute pay rate for full day is $332.33 and $166.16 for half day assignment. One day of assignment of sub teaching is more than 3.51 hours and half day sub teaching is 3.5 hours and less. 

Substitute teachers are paid monthly. If you hold multiple positions, one of which is paid biweekly, BOTH positions will be compensated on the biweekly payroll schedule.

Please refer to the pay schedule for more information.

Substitutes do not enter time on timesheets in EMPowerSF. The school sites verifies the hours worked and the sub office transfers your time worked which is located on your Red Rover calendar to your timesheet on EMPower. 

You can access your pay stubs online via EMPowerSF (instructions)

During their first year of hire, Day-to-Day Substitutes are unfortunately not eligible for district-subsidized health or dental benefits. However, in compliance with the Affordable Care Act, at the end of each fiscal year (6/30), the District conducts a "Look Back", in which it calculates the hours that each employee has worked that year.

Employees who work a minimum average of 20-29 hours per week from the beginning of the school year will be eligible for healthcare coverage for the following school year. You can read more about substitute healthcare coverage here.

Please note that this only applies to employees who have worked an entire school year; if you are hired mid-school year, you, unfortunately, won't be eligible for the Look Back that school year.

For additional questions, schedule time with the benefits team.

There are two types of bonuses offered to DTD substitutes.

• 10 day bonus: A sub who works 10 days consecutively or more in the same assignment is eligible for $39.82 a day. This bonus is compensated on the following 1-2 pay cycles.
• High Potential bonus: A sub who works at a high potential school is eligible for $21.84 a day. This bonus is compensated on the following pay cycle.

You must be employed for 90 calendar days and have worked at least 30 assignments to be eligible for sick time. 40 hours of sick time will be loaded on the next pay period after you’ve met the minimum requirements. You can view your available sick days and how to request sick days on the instructions on this guide.

All subs with the exception of Early Ed subs (up to 8 hours), the max hours to request are 7 hours per day as most sub assignments are 7 hours max, half day would be 3.5 hours and less

Sub Office Manager, receives the request and approves before the end of the pay period.
