Before GANT, LESTER and GUDGEL, JJ.
LESTER, Judge.
The question to be resolved by this court is as follows:

*78 Are public school teachers unemployed during a calendar week when, during that week, they perform less than fulltime work, the work originally scheduled is made up at a later date within the contract year and the worker suffers no loss of salary by reason of his or her temporary enforced idleness?
This appeal is a consolidation of nine cases emanating from different circuit courts, all of which affirmed the decision of the Kentucky Unemployment Insurance Commission (K.U.I.C.) denying appellants unemployment benefits for snow days. Appellants are teachers in the various county school systems employed under continuing contracts, to be renewed annually. They have varying lengths of service, some are tenured, while others are not. The terms of their employment are dictated by statute and regulation. Basically, they are required to work 185 days during a period beginning in early August, but not to exceed June 30 of the following year. School calendars are set at the beginning of this period, but may be revised to make up lost days. Teachers are paid in equal installments throughout the school years, the frequency of which is determined by each school district. In the instant cases, inclement weather forced the closing of schools at various times during January, February, and March of 1980, sometimes in excess of seven days. Appellants filed claims for unemployment benefits for those days with the K.U.I.C. Hearings were held in each case. It was the decision of the Commission that appellants were not entitled to benefits as they were not unemployed during the claim period. The Commission found that modification of the school calendar did not alter the terms or contract of employment in that appellants were able, as per their contracts, to work 185 days within the prescribed school year, and their incomes remained intact. Consequently, they were not unemployed. Upon appeal of the K.U. I.C. decisions to the circuit court, appellants' complaints were dismissed and the administrative agency affirmed.
If findings of fact of an administrative agency are supported by substantial evidence of probative value, they must be accepted as binding upon the reviewing court and then it must be determined whether or not the agency applied the correct rule of law to the facts so found. Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Co. v. Kentucky Unemployment Ins. Comm., Ky., 437 S.W.2d 775 (1969); McFadden v. Kentucky Unemployment Ins. Comm., Ky. App., 588 S.W.2d 711 (1978). Upon review of the records herein, we are of the opinion that there was substantial evidence of probative value to support the Commission's findings. Likewise, we believe that the correct rule of law was applied to these cases. As previously noted, the terms of appellants' employment are dictated by statute (KRS 158.070) and regulation (703 K.A.R. 2:010, 2:020), and are embodied in their contracts requiring them to work 185 days between early August and June 30. It is within the province of the respective school districts to determine which 185 days appellants must work. In any event, they are paid in equal installments during the school year. As the Commission stated in its decision,
The basic aim of the Unemployment Insurance Program is to provide temporary assistance to workers during weeks when they are both idled for lack of work and receive no wages.
While appellants may have been idled by the weather, they, nevertheless, received their regular paycheck. For as long as they themselves and the school system adhere to the terms of their contracts, they were employed and ineligible for unemployment benefits.
Since the Commission failed to find appellants to be unemployed, we do not reach the issue of their "availability" for suitable work, KRS 341.350(4), nor will we discuss it at any great length. However, it appears to this court that had the Commission reached that issue, it could have made a determination based upon no other testimony or evidence, but could rely solely upon appellants' contracts which were a matter of record, as well as the statute and regulations *79-81 governing their term of employment. Likewise, the circuit court could consider such evidence upon review.
In Nos. 81-1521 and 81-1859, appellants assert that the trial court erred in summarily dismissing their complaints without complying with the procedures outlined in KRS 341.450(3). We agree with appellants that the language of that provision is mandatory. However, having already affirmed the Commission and the circuit court on the substantive issue, it would be a futile gesture to remand these causes to the lower court for correction of the procedural problem.
The judgments of the circuit courts are affirmed.
All concur.
