The minimum rates indicated in the basic schedule are for teachers with less than one (1) year of teaching experience before joining the Brandon School Division teaching staff. For teachers with one (1) year or more of teaching experience after certification, the minimum rates are increased according to the schedule as set forth in Article 7.01 for each year of teaching experience recognized by Manitoba Education, up to the maximum provided in each class. The onus for the accuracy of teaching experience by Manitoba Education rests with the teacher concerned.
Each teacher coming on staff with the Division shall receive from the Division a letter confirming the classification and experience of the teacher as recognized by Manitoba Education. The teacher upon receipt of the letter shall have thirty (30) teaching days to protest any alleged error or omission. A copy of the above letter shall be forwarded by the Division to the Secretary of the Association.
