Where increased qualifications are secured which qualify a teacher for an advance on the salary schedule, the resulting increase in salary shall become effective from the first (1st) day of the month following that month in which evidence is filed with the Secretary-Treasurer of the Hanover School Division that such additional qualifications have been obtained. The onus shall be on the teacher to provide verification of academic and professional standing to Manitoba Education so appropriate placement on the salary classification schedule may be made; likewise such information shall be filed at the office of the Hanover School Division. Teachers who bring in their fall marks but are unable to get proper verification for change in class, will, upon proper verification be paid retroactive to the first day of the month, following that month in which the teacher produced his marks.
Onus of Proof: new teachers coming on staff, or teachers who have increased their qualifications which put them into the next higher class, must provide the division with proof from the Director of Teacher Training. Otherwise all cheques will be based on the teacher's previous standing. Transcripts from the University will not be accepted as proof, unless accompanied by a letter from the Director of Teacher Training.
