A teacher who has been employed full time or part time in the Division under a Limited Term Teacher – General contract for two (2) successive entire school years and who subsequently is employed under a Teacher - General contract shall be deemed to have been employed under a Teacher - General contract since the commencement of his or her successive duties under a Limited Term Teacher - General contract, and shall be entitled retroactively to seniority.
Sick leave earned but not utilized, while employed on a term contract, may be carried forward to employment under a Teacher - General or subsequent Limited Term Teacher - General, only in instances where employment on a Limited Term Teacher - General has been continuous and there has been no break in service. For the purpose of this clause, a continuous Limited Term Teacher - General contract will be employment with the Division under the Limited Term Teacher - General contract where there has been no break in service between one Limited Term Teacher - General contract and another Limited Term Teacher - General contract or Teacher – General contract. For further clarity, the summer, winter and spring breaks do not constitute a break in service provided that the teacher has a summer, winter or spring break and a Limited Term Teacher – General or Teacher - General contract is in force and in effect the first teaching day following that summer, winter or spring break.
