The most appropriate remedy to compensate employees who worked additional hours due to the employer's unilateral elimination of the preparation period is time off corresponding to the additional hours worked. Monetary compensation is ordered as alternative remedy if the parties cannot agree upon the manner in which the haramed employees will be granted compensating time off. Monetary compensation also is ordered for employees no longer working for the school district. Back pay not appropriate remedy for increase in number of students assigned to each teacher where award already granted for additional hours worked. To award separate compensation for the workload increase would be to award the teachers twice for one unilateral change.
