The teacher, within ten teaching days of receiving notice of lay-off, shall indicate in writing of his/her wish to be placed on the re-employment list. Notwithstanding anything else in this article, failure to respond within the time limit specified in this paragraph shall relieve the onus on the Division for that teacher's placement on the re-employment list and the teacher shall lose seniority.
If after lay-offs have occurred, and for a period of one calendar year after the 30th day of September following the date of lay-off, teachers who have been laid off and have given notice by registered mail under Article 16.05 above shall be offered the position first as it becomes available when positions become vacant provided such teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience for the positions available. Length of teaching service with the Board will be used to determine the order in which the laid-off teachers are offered the available positions provided that said teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience.
It shall be the responsibility of the teacher to report an address to which a recall notice can be delivered. Recall notices will be delivered by registered mail to the last reported address given by the teacher and a teacher who is recalled from lay-off shall be required to indicate, notwithstanding any other time limits in this policy, within 15 teaching days of the registered letter being sent, his/her intent to return to work and shall be required to return to work on the date set out in the notice which date shall not be less than one month's calendar days following such notification, unless by written mutual agreement. Failure to respond within the time limits specified or agreed to shall relieve the onus on the Division for that teacher's placement on the re-employment list and he/she shall lose seniority.
A teacher will retain and accrue seniority if absent from work because of:
a) Illness or accident up to the maximum days accumulated under the provisions of the collective agreement;
b) A leave of absence up to 30 calendar days;
c) Maternity, parental and compassionate care leave under the provisions of the Employment Standards Act.
A teacher shall retain but not accrue seniority if the teacher is:
a) On leave of absence in excess of 30 calendar days;
b) Laid off for a period of time less than that set out in Article 15.10 (c) hereof;
c) Absent because of illness or accident for more than the maximum number of days accumulated under the provisions of the collective agreement;
d) Sabbatical leave;
e) Absent because the Division has granted more maternity and/or parental leave than required by the Employment Standards Code.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a teacher shall lose seniority and the rights to further consideration for employment for any of the following reasons:
a) The teacher resigns;
b) The teacher fails to return to work after the termination of any leave granted by the Board;
c) The teacher is not re-employed within one calendar year after September 30 following the date of lay-off;
d) The teacher's contract is terminated for cause;
e) Any teacher on the re-employment list who refuses to accept a position for which the teacher has the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience to perform the work in the position offered shall forfeit all right of seniority and re-employment;
f) The teacher is employed by another School Board on a regular basis and on a Form 2 contract.
A teacher who has lost seniority as a result of the application of this article shall be notified as soon as possible that his/her teaching contract has been terminated.
If the Board terminates the contract of a teacher because that teacher is surplus, the Board shall, at the request of the teacher, provide him/her with a letter to this effect.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, the lay-off provisions shall not apply to teachers who are not tenured or to teachers employed on a fixed term contract where during that term the teacher is employed on the express written understanding that such teacher will not, after the completion of such term, be employed by the Division.
Tenure means the status of a teacher as defined in Sections 92(5) and 92(6) of the Public Schools Act, who is continuously employed by one School Board for more than one full school year or who was employed by one other School Board in the Province for more than one full school year within 3 years prior thereto.
Teachers employed under contract on a part-time basis shall be paid a rate based on the fraction of time employed.
Part-time teachers shall be eligible to participate in any employee benefit if such plan allows part-time teachers access to such a benefit plan.
Part-time teachers shall participate in school activities during the regular school day when requested by the employer. Part-time teachers shall receive 1/200 or portion thereof for time spent over and above their regularly scheduled teaching time during the school day. At the Superintendent's discretion, time in lieu of compensation may be given.
The school activities, when occurring during the regular school day, eligible for payment under this Article are:
a) Staff meetings
b) Parent-teacher interviews
c) In-service components
d) Field trips, band trips, music festivals and any other school related business
A teacher who has been employed full-time or part-time in the Division under a Limited General contract for two successive years, shall on employment for the third consecutive school year, be signed to a Teacher-General contract and be entitled retroactively, to seniority and sick leave for the previous successive entire school years of employment. An entire school year means employment for 180 or more school days in the contract year, pro-rated for part-time teachers.
The imposition of discipline without just cause by the Division or any agent thereof with or without pay shall be subject to the following provisions:
a) Where the Division or person(s) acting on behalf of the Division so disciplines any person covered by this Collective Agreement and where the affected person is not satisfied that the discipline is for just cause, the Division's action shall be deemed to be a difference between the parties to or persons bound by this Collective Agreement under Article 17 "Settlement of Disputes Concerning this Agreement".
b) When such a difference is referred to a Board of Arbitration under Article 17, the Board of Arbitration shall have the power to:
1. Uphold the discipline

Except in cases of emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, every full time teacher shall be entitled to an uninterrupted meal period between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each school day:
a) This lunch period shall be equal to the midday intermission given to the students of the school in which the teacher is employed to a maximum of fifty-five (55) minutes.
b) One member of the teaching staff per school shall be on call during this meal period.
Teacher participation in extra-curricular activities shall be voluntary.
The Division shall post notification of teacher attrition created before March 31st in the schools. Should that attrition create a vacancy, teachers that have not submitted a transfer request will be required to apply stating their interest in a reassignment to that school.
If the parties are unable to agree on the terms of a renewed or revised collective agreement or a new collective agreement, either party may – after a period of at least 90 days has elapsed since notice was given to commence collective bargaining under Section 60 or 61 of The Labour Relations Act – notify the other in writing of its desire to submit the matters remaining in dispute to arbitration. The matters in dispute must then be submitted to arbitration in accordance with this section.
If the parties agree to refer the matters to a single arbitrator, they shall appoint an arbitrator to hear and determine the matters and make an award.
If the parties can not agree to appoint a single arbitrator, they shall take steps to establish an arbitration board to hear and determine the matters and issue an award.
The party that gives the notice under 26.01 shall include in the notice a statement of the matters in dispute being referred to arbitration. The other party may also provide the initiating party with a statement in writing of the matters it considers to be in dispute.
A statement referred to in 26.04 may be amended at any time before the arbitrator or arbitration board begins hearings, but new items may not be added unless bargaining has taken place respecting them.
After hearings begin, neither of the parties may add further items to the statement of matters in dispute, but a party may modify or withdraw any items during the course of the hearings.
Part VII of The Labour Relations Act applies, with necessary changes, to the arbitration of collective bargaining disputes between the parties.

Concurrently, a copy of such notice shall be sent to the Association.
Effective May 1, 2008, the Division will participate in the administration of the MSBA/MTS Dental Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement entered into by the Division and the Association attached hereto as The Collateral Dental Plan Agreement.
All employees covered by this Collective Agreement that are eligible under the terms of the Dental Plan shall be required to participate in the MSBA/MTS Dental Plan unless entitled to elect out of the MSBA/MTS Dental Plan as may be permitted under the terms thereof.
The cost of the MSBA/MTS Dental Plan will be paid by the division in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Dental Plan Agreement.
The Division agrees that the Division’s monthly contributions to the Dental Plan on behalf of each Employee will be the monthly rate for family coverage (that is, entitlement to coverage for an Employee, his/her spouse and his/her dependent children, having regard to the definition of spouse and dependent children in the Dental Plan). Provided that prior to the beginning of the plan year an Employee may elect in prescribed for form reduced coverage as permitted under the terms of the Dental Plan in which case the Division agrees to make monthly payments to the Employee as follows:

LETTER OF AGREEMENT

and
The Seine River Teachers' Association
of the
Manitoba Teachers' Society
RE: July 1, 2015 changes to Article 9 – Maternity/Parental Leave
As an outcome of discussions between the parties, the following changes will be made to Article 9 - Maternity/Parental Leave:
9.01. Every female teacher shall be entitled to maternity leave and every teacher shall be entitled to parental leave in accordance with this article.
9.02. Except as otherwise provided herein the Manitoba Employment Standards Code will apply.
9.03. The teacher and the Division shall mutually agree to extend the length of leave if the teacher so desires. Any such arrangement shall be confirmed in writing by the Division.
9.04. Effective July 1, 2015. A teacher taking maternity leave and/or parental leave pursuant to this article shall be entitled to receive pay equivalent to ninety percent (90%) of 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.
9.05. Effective July 1, 2015, the Division shall pay a teacher on maternity leave and/or parental leave:
(i) If the teacher's two (2) week or ten (10) day waiting period falls entirely on teaching days, ninety percent (90%) of the teacher's gross salary plus up to seventy-five (75) 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.
(ii) If the teacher's two (2) week or ten (10) day waiting period falls partially or entirely within a non-teaching period, ninety percent (90%) of the teacher's gross salary for any teaching days and up to eighty-five (85) 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.
(iii) up to fifty (50) teaching days of parental 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:
(i) one hundred and thirty-five (135) teaching days of pay and/or top-up benefits if the teacher takes both maternity leave and parental leave;
(ii) eighty-five (85) teaching days of pay and/or top-up benefits if the teacher only takes maternity leave;
(iii) Fifty (50) teaching days of pay and/or top-up benefits if the teacher only takes parental leave;
unless the teacher takes a shorter period of maternity leave or parental leave in which case, the pay and/or top-up will be pro-rated to reflect the actual number of teaching days taken. The parties acknowledge that the top-up payment made by the Division for maternity leave may extend into the period of time that the teacher is on parental leave but the payment is intended to be a top-up of maternity leave benefits.
9.06 Non-Application
The 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.
