3.2 Method of Payment

(a) For the period September 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014:

     (i) Teachers shall be paid one-twelfth (1/12) of their annualized salary rate on or before the second last teaching day of each month during the period September to May inclusive in which services were provided from the first teaching day of a month.  In the case of a teacher commencing employment on a teaching day other than the first teaching day, the teacher shall be paid on or before the second last teaching day of that month the proportion of the number of days taught bears to the total number of teaching days in the month multiplied by one-twelfth (1/12) of the teacher’s annualized salary rate.

     (ii) On or before the second last teaching day of the month of June, teachers shall be paid the difference between the annualized salary earned during the school year and all amounts paid prior to that date.  The amount of the annualized salary earned by any teacher shall be determined by taking the total days taught by a teacher as a proportion or percentage of teaching days in the Fall and Spring Terms as prescribed by the Minister of Education multiplied by the annualized salary rates in effect during the school year.

(b) For the period commencing on and from September 1, 2015:

 Subject to the Letter of Administration: Method of Payment, dated April 30, 2015, attached to this Agreement, Teachers shall normally be paid one-twenty-fourth (1/24) of their annualized salary rate on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month and on or before the last business day of each month, September to August inclusive in which services were provided from the first teaching day of a semi-monthly pay period. In the case of a teacher commencing employment on a teaching day other than the first teaching day of the pay period, the teacher shall be paid, for that pay period, the proportion of the number of days taught bears to the total number of teaching days in the pay period multiplied by one-twenty-fourth (1/24) of the Teacher’s annualized salary rate.

(c) Where, in any year, teachers who leave the employ of the Division between the expiration of the previous agreement and the date of signing of this agreement shall bear the onus of notifying the Board as to any change in address.

(d) Any perceived discrepancies with respect to the full time equivalency are to be brought to the attention of the Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources and Policy. Any perceived discrepancies with respect to classification, step on the salary schedule and deductions are to be brought to the attention of the Secretary-Treasurer.

3.3 Interest On Retroactive Pay

The Division shall pay to teachers of the Association interest on any retroactive payment owed to the teachers.  The interest shall be calculated from the date on which the monies would have been due to the actual date of payment.  The interest shall be calculated on the gross amount of any retroactive pay due, less the amount of any statutory deductions including Canada Pension, Employment Insurance and Income Tax and less other deductions with respect to that pay.  The interest shall be paid at the average rate at which the Division borrows funds or could have borrowed funds if none were borrowed, during the twelve-month period immediately preceding January 1st of the calendar year in which the agreement is renewed.  The Division shall normally pay to the teachers of the Association back pay and interest on retroactive pay no later than eight weeks following the date of signing the agreement. For agreements signed in months other than June, payment will be made within a reasonable time frame.

3.9 Substitute Teachers

The provisions of the Collective Agreement do not apply to substitute teachers except as expressly provided for in Article 3.9, Substitute Teachers.

 a) Rates

The Board may increase substitute rates at its discretion to such rates, for such periods of time and in such circumstances as the Board deems reasonable.  In no case, however, may substitutes be paid at a rate below the following schedule:

The foregoing daily substitute rates are inclusive of vacation pay.

With the exception of substitute payments being made pursuant to paragraph (b), retroactive substitute payments pursuant to paragraph (a), which would arise as a result of a new Collective Agreement being concluded, in any year, shall not be paid where the gross amount of such retroactive payment is less than $10.00.

b) Extended Substitution

Commencement of the sixth (6th) consecutive day of substituting as a substitute in one classroom, or for one teacher, shall constitute an extended substitute teaching assignment and the following shall apply:

i) Upon commencement of the sixth (6th) consecutive day of substitution in one classroom, or for one teacher, that substitute shall be regarded as one taking the place of a teacher on leave and shall be paid according to qualification and experience under Article 2, retroactively to the first day of such service.  Substitute teachers pursuant to this paragraph shall not be paid at a rate higher than that provided for at the maximum salary of Class 5. 

 ii) In-service days, administration days or days when the Division closes a school during the regular school year shall not be deemed to interrupt the consecutive service of a substitute teacher for purposes of determining status as an extended substitute.

 iii) Such period of extended substitution shall not be deemed to be interrupted when replacing a part-time teacher who is scheduled to work on non-consecutive days.  When the extended substitution is for a part-time teacher, the provisions of Article 3.8 (a) shall apply.  Article 3.8 (b) shall not apply.
 
iv) A substitute teacher who has been employed for at least nine (9) consecutive days of extended substitute teaching shall be entitled to one (1) day of sick leave with pay for each nine (9) days taught in that assignment.  Sick leave shall not accumulate from assignment to assignment.  The use of a sick leave day shall not constitute an interruption of the extended substitute teaching assignment.

 v) When a substitute teacher suffers an on-job injury and is absent from work as a result of that injury, the Board shall continue to pay the salary of that substitute teacher during such absence limited to the extent of the accumulated sick leave balance at the time of suffering the on-job injury.  The period of time absent from work as a consequence of the on-job injury shall not be charged against the accumulated sick leave balance.

 Entitlement to accrued sick leave or on-the-job injury entitlement ceases upon the last day prior to the return of the teacher being replaced in the assignment.

c) The Division shall reimburse each substitute teacher the same allowance normally received by the teacher being replaced for travel between an assignment involving two or more schools or work sites within the Division’s jurisdiction.

 d) Unless otherwise determined at the time of the assignment, or except in unforeseen circumstances, the timetable for a substitute teacher in any assignment shall normally be the same as the timetable of the teacher who is being replaced.

 e) A substitute teacher who is called to work for an assignment, and who reports for the assignment finding that his or her services are not required shall be offered an alternative assignment equivalent in time to the substitute’s original assignment, and when such alternative assignment is not available shall be paid a half (1/2) day’s pay at the applicable rate in lieu.
