Teachers employed on a part-time basis shall be paid according to their qualifications in accordance with Article 10 of this collective agreement and at a rate based on the fraction of the time employed.
Part-time teachers shall participate in school activities that occur during the regular school day when requested by the employer. When the employer makes such requests, part-time teachers shall receive a pro rata share of their annual salary rate for the time spent participating in the activities over and above the regularly scheduled teaching time. At the employer's discretion, time in lieu of salary payment may be given.
During each school year, part-time teachers shall participate in administration days, in-service or other professional development activities, prorated in proportion to the teacher’s instructional time. The principal in consultation with the teacher shall arrange the scheduling of these occasions.
All other hiring considerations being equal, part-time teachers shall be afforded preference over new hires for full-time positions for which they are qualified when full-time positions become available. When more than one part-time teacher applies for the same position, length of service under contract with the Division shall prevail in determining the successful candidate.
In determining the fraction that a part-time teacher is employed, the Division shall determine that a part-time teacher's fraction of employment is equal to the fraction that the instructional assignment of the teacher is of the instructional time assigned to a full-time teacher.
Every part-time teacher shall have preparation time prorated in proportion to a full-time teacher’s preparation time.
