(a)  Substitute teachers shall be certified, wherever possible, and shall be paid at the following rates per full day, including vacation pay:

It shall be the responsibility of the substitute teacher to file evidence of qualifications as a Certified Teacher to the Chief Superintendent.  In failing this, the substitute teacher shall be paid at the rate for teachers below Class 4.

(b) A substitute teacher filling a position for the same teacher for a period of at least five (5) consecutive scheduled working days shall be termed extended substitute teaching.

Upon commencement of the sixth (6th) day of extended substitute teaching, a substitute teacher shall be paid for each day taught at the per diem rate (to be calculated as 1/x of the salary to which a teacher of the same qualifications and experience would be entitled under the basic salary schedule of the current collective agreement, where x = the number of days in the current school year).  Such pay shall be retroactive to the first day of the assignment, and the rate of pay for the extended teaching assignment shall continue in effect until the end of the extended teaching assignment.

In-service days and/or Administrative days shall not constitute a break in the extended teaching assignment.

(c) Limited Term Teacher-General Contract

 A substitute teacher who has been employed for at least twenty (20) days of extended substitute teaching shall, on the twenty-first (21st) day, be signed to a Limited Term Teacher-General contract, unless the return of the regular teacher or conclusion of the substitute assignment will occur within five (5) working days.

 (d) Unless otherwise determined at the time of the assignment, or except in unforeseen circumstances, the timetable for the substitute teacher in any assignment shall normally be the same as the timetable of the teacher who is being replaced.

(e) A substitute teacher who is called for a half day assignment, who reports, and who finds that his or her services are not required, shall be offered an alternative teaching assignment and shall be paid a half day’s pay for reporting for duty.

(f) A substitute teacher who is called for a full day assignment, who reports, and who finds that his or her services are not required, shall be offered an alternative teaching assignment and shall be paid a full day’s pay for reporting for duty.

(g) Sick Leave
 A substitute teacher who has been employed for at least nine (9) consecutive days of extended substitute teaching in a school year shall be entitled to one (1) day of sick leave with pay for each nine (9) days taught in that assignment.  Sick leave shall not accumulate from one extended substitute teacher assignment to another.

 The use of a sick leave day with pay shall not constitute an interruption of the extended substitute teaching assignment.

(h) Manitoba Teachers’ Society fees and St. James-Assiniboia Teachers’ Association fees shall be deducted from a substitute teacher’s pay monthly.

(i) The Association shall indemnify and save harmless the Division from any and all losses, costs, liabilities, or expenses suffered or sustained by the Division as a result of any claim or legal action arising from the deduction of local Association fees or Manitoba Teachers’ Society fees.
