LOUIS RIEL TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION

EFFECTIVE PERIOD: 2014/07/01 - 2018/06/30 (EXPIRED)

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT

Re: Norwood Amalgamation Issues

1) VISION CARE PLAN

The Division will administer under the same terms and conditions, the Vision Health Benefits Plan previously registered to the Norwood School Division No. 8 only for eligible teachers.
 
The Division agrees to provide the Association with an annual list of the eligible teachers.
  
2) METHOD OF PAY

For the eligible former Norwood Teachers’ Association members, Article 15:  Method of Payment of Salary as it appeared in the Collective Agreement between Norwood School Division No. 8 and Norwood Teachers’ Association in effect from January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1998 will continue to apply, and will be deemed incorporated into the Collective Agreement to be concluded between Louis Riel School Division and Louis Riel Teachers’ Association effective July 1, 2014.

The said Article 15 of the Norwood Collective Agreement, Method of Payment of Salary, was as follows:

“Commencing in 1990, teachers hired at the beginning of the fall term will be paid for their initial fall term the amount actually earned based on days taught by four approximately equal payments during the months of September through December.

Teachers continuing to be employed after their initial Fall term will, in each calendar year, be paid their annual salary in twelve approximately equal monthly payments, January through December.

Commencing in June, 1990, teachers leaving the Division at the end of the school year will be paid for their final spring term the amount of the salary earned based on the actual days taught during that term.”

The parties agree that this letter of understanding will not prevent or stop either party from amending through negotiations, mediation or arbitration Article 5.00, Method of Payment, of the current collective agreement between the Louis Riel Teachers’ Association and the Louis Riel School Division as said Article 5.00 applies to all teachers except those teachers terminating employment with the Division or taking a leave of absence without pay and identified as “Norwood Teachers” by this Letter of Understanding,    

The Division agrees to provide the Association with an annual list of the eligible teachers.
