(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Division shall have the right to disregard the length of service of any teacher in the event of a layoff, if such teacher does not have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience for a specific teaching assignment.

           3. Where teachers have the same seniority as defined in (1) and (2), the order of seniority shall be determined on the basis of total recognized teaching experience in Manitoba.

           4. Where teachers have the same seniority as defined in (1), (2) and (3), the order of seniority shall be determined on the basis of total teaching experience recognized by the Professional Certification Unit for classification purposes.

           5. If the length of teaching experience as defined in (1), (2), (3) and (4) is equal, the teacher to be declared surplus shall be determined by the Division.

(h) 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;

(k) If the Division terminates the contract of a teacher because that teacher is surplus, the Division shall, at the request of the teacher, provide him/her with a letter to this effect.

(l) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this article, the foregoing layoff procedure shall not apply to teachers who have not been employed by the Division for more than one (1) year 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.
