EARLY NOTICE OF RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PLAN
This agreement is made separate and apart from the Collective Agreement between the Association and the Division. The parties agree that this memorandum of agreement expires at 4:00 p.m. on March 28, 2018.
I. ELIGIBILITY
A teacher shall be eligible for the retirement incentive hereinafter described if s/he:
a. is or will, by the end of the current school year, be eligible for a benefit under The Teachers’ Pension Act, which the parties agree requires a teacher to be at least fifty-five (55) years of age.
b. is an employee of the Flin Flon School Division and has a minimum of ten (10) years of continuous employment under a Form 2 or Teacher – General contract with the Flin Flon School Division, and is not currently on an unpaid leave of absence from the Division (unpaid leave not to include those away on either sick leave or Long Term Disability); and
c. meets all other eligibility requirements of this Agreement and applies by completing and submitting Schedule A; and
d. executes an Indemnification as set out in Schedule B hereof.
The Division shall have the sole discretion to waive the service requirements in 1(b).
II. BENEFITS AND TIME GUIDELINES PAID UNDER PLAN
a. The retirement incentive paid under this plan is a “retiring allowance” as that term is defined by the Income Tax Act, based on the teacher’s current permanent FTE status.
b. For a full-time teacher, the retiring allowance will be a lump sum payment of $15,000, less applicable deduction by the Division for income tax, to the teacher no later than January 15, of the following school year; or
c. a payment of $15,000 to a Registered Retirement Plan (RRP) or Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) no later than January 15, of the following school year, without deduction, if the teacher meets tax deferral eligibility requirements of the Income Tax Act.
d. For a teacher who is working less than full-time, the retiring allowance of $15,000 will be pro-rated by his/her permanent FTE status (e.g. $15,000 x 0.5 FTE = $7,500)
e. In the event of the death of a teacher who is entitled to receive the retiring allowance, the appropriate lump sum payment shall be made to his/her estate.
III. NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE
a. A teacher who plans to retire is to advise the Division in writing (on the form provided as Schedule A), of his/her intentions, no later than 4:00 p.m. on the last working day in January of the current school year for retirement on June 30, of the that school year, in order to qualify for a retirement incentive.
b. The names of persons who intend to retire pursuant to this Retirement Incentive Plan shall be forwarded to the Association by the Division.
IV. OTHER CONDITIONS
a. This is a one-time offer for those that become first eligible for retirement (minimum age 55 and 25 years of total service) on June 30, current school year.
b. This plan is not retroactive. Teachers who have retired or resigned or terminated their Agreement of Employment with the Division shall not be eligible for any of the benefits provided herein.
c. All provisions of the plan are subject to compliance with legislative provisions which may be enacted during its duration.
d. This plan provides the opportunity of a financial incentive as provided under Clause II above. The parties agree that this retirement incentive agreement is a one-time only agreement.
e.

(a) Effective July 1, 2017 a teacher taking Maternity Leave and/or Parental/Adoptive Leave pursuant to this article shall be entitled to receive pay equivalent to ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary (gross salary means the teacher’s gross salary at the time the leave commenced plus any subsequently negotiated salary adjustments) for up to one hundred and thirty-five (135) teaching days, which pay will include any employment insurance benefits received in accordance with this article.
(b) Effective July 1, 2017 the Division shall pay a teacher on Maternity Leave and/or Parental/Adoptive Leave:
(1) if the teacher’s one (1) week or five (5) day waiting period falls entirely on teaching days, ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary plus up to eighty (80) teaching days of Maternity Leave Top-Up calculated at the difference between the teacher’s employment insurance benefit and ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary provided the teacher remains on either maternity or parental leave and continues to receive employment insurance benefits;

For greater certainty, a teacher who is receiving employment insurance benefits shall be entitled to:
(1) one hundred and thirty-five (135) teaching days of pay and/or top-up benefits if the teacher takes both maternity leave and parental/adoptive leave;

c) Non-Application
This article shall not apply to any teacher who is employed on a term contract during the teacher’s first year of employment. All other teachers shall be eligible to receive the top-up benefits once they have been employed for a period of seven (7) months by the Division.
