Payment for Increased Qualifications: Upon completion of courses which lead to a higher classification, payment for resultant increased qualifications recognized by Manitoba Education shall be effective the first (1st) day of the month immediately following the date verified by Manitoba Education. A statement from Manitoba Education confirming a higher classification shall be provided to the Secretary-Treasurer as evidence of same and authorization for payment. The onus for providing the Division with satisfying proof of increased qualifications rests with the teacher concerned.
Article 6.04 shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect as at
October 1, 1981, and to apply to all above-mentioned letters of verification received from Manitoba Education since that date.
The teacher has an obligation to act diligently and in a timely manner in seeking to have Manitoba Education recognize his/her increased qualifications. Failure to act in such a fashion will result in the increased qualifications not being recognized for pay purposes until the first (1st) day of the month immediately following the date on which the teacher provides the Division with the required statement from Manitoba Education.
