Teachers in administrative positions shall receive a salary composed of two elements:
(a) A basic salary according to Article 9.00 of this Agreement.
(b) An administrative allowance calculated in accordance with Articles 14.02, 14.03, 14.04 and 14.05 of this collective agreement.
Principals' allowances shall be determined in accordance with the following table:
| Base | For each FTE Teacher | For each student | |
| (registration as of September 30th) | |||
| 2014-2015 | 5,100.00 | 189.57 | 30.11 |
| 2015-2016 | 5,202.00 | 193.36 | 30.71 |
| 2016-2017 | 5,306.04 | 197.23 | 31.33 |
| 2017 (July-December) | 5,385.63 | 200.19 | 31.8 |
| 2018 (January-June) | 5,466.42 | 203.19 | 32.28 |
The annual calculation of the administrative allowances is based on the number of staff members assigned to the school (FTE) as of November 15 of each school year. The staff members include the vice-principals, teachers, teacher-aids, library technicians, custodians, secretaries, and pre-kindergarten teachers. The allowances must be paid retroactively to September 1 of the school year.
Principals who received a greater administrative allowance in 2008-2009 than that which is generated by the formula, will continue to receive the greater amount providing:
(a) the principal stays in the same position at the same school; or
(b) the principals' administrative allowance does not reach or surpass the amount generated by the formula.
Principals working north of the 55th parallel shall receive an annual northern allowance as follows:
$7,141.35 as of July 1, 2014
$7,284.18 as of July 1, 2015
$7,429.86 as of July 1, 2016
$7,541.31 as of July 1, 2017
$7,654.43 as of January 1, 2018
The northern allowance shall be prorated based on the administrative assignment percentage.
Vice-principals' allowances shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
- Full time: Vice-principals who have been assigned administrative duties for 85 to 100% of the school day shall receive an allowance equal to 50% of the principal's allowance for that school.
- 61 to 84% of the school day: Vice-principals who have been assigned administrative duties for 61 to 84% of the school day shall receive an amount equal to 5/12 of the principal's allowance for that school.
- 60% or less: Vice-principals, who have been assigned 60% or less administrative duties, shall receive an amount equal to 1/3 of the principal's allowance for that school.
The principal and vice-principal allowances shall not be reduced for reasons of transfer from one school to another as principal or vice-principal, provided such transfer is effected at the request of the Division. Said allowance shall be protected for a period of two (2) years. In those cases where a principal or vice-principal has been placed in another position while receiving a protected allowance and benefits from a different allowance, that administrator shall be paid, from the date of such placement to another position as principal or vice-principal, the greater of the two allowances. At the end of the two-year (2) period, the allowance shall be adjusted in accordance with the corresponding allowance for the new position.
The Division shall name one teacher in each school as a designated teacher to assume administrative responsibilities when the school’s principal and vice-principal are both absent from the school, or when the principal, where there is no vice-principal, is absent from the school.
Effective on the day of signing of this Agreement:
1) The annual allowance for designated teachers shall be $1,300.
2) When the teacher designated to serve as the interim principal or vice-principal of the school is not available, his/her replacement shall receive a daily allowance of $50.
In the absence of the principal and vice-principal for a half-day period or more, a substitute teacher will be granted for teaching assignments should the designated teacher request it.
