ARTICLE 5: SALARY CONFIRMATION

Before the end of September of each year, the Secretary Treasurer of the Board shall forward to the Local Association a report identifying the number, classification, percentage employment, and salary of teachers covered by the collective agreement.

ARTICLE 6: PAYMENT OF SALARIES

Basic Entitlement

The amount of the salary earned during the school year by a teacher shall be determined by taking, as a fraction, the total number of teaching days a teacher is employed in each of the Fall and Spring terms divided by the total number of teaching days in the school year, as prescribed by the Department of Education, multiplied by the salary rates in effect during the following Fall and Spring Terms and aggregated.

Method of Payment

A) Salaries shall be paid on a twelve month basis on or before the last teaching Friday of the month for all employees except for Term employees starting after the first day of school.  Those Term employees will be paid on a 10 month basis with no accrual of salary for July and August.  Stated exceptions being the months of March, June and December, when payment shall be made on the last teaching day of said months, contingent upon completion of contractual duties.  July and August salary will be paid in two separate direct deposits on the last teaching day in June.

B)  Each teacher shall receive an advance, payable on the 15th of each month, equivalent to approximately 50% of net earnings for one month.  The advance will be payable on the last banking day prior to the 15th, when the 15th of the month falls on a weekend.

C) Salaries of a teacher commencing employment, or returning to active employment following an unpaid leave of absence, after the first teaching day of the school year, shall be paid in installments calculated as follows:

i) In the first month of employment, if the teacher is hired between the 1st and 15th of the month, the salary shall be paid in the fraction of the salary rate in effect as the total number of days employed for the school year, the monthly instalments shall be determined by dividing the salary entitlement for the balance of the school year by the number of months remaining to August 31st next. 

ii) In the first month of employment if a teacher is hired between the 16th and last day of the month, the salary shall be paid in the fraction of the salary rate in effect as the number of days employed in that month is of the total number of days as prescribed for the school year.  Thereafter, the monthly installments shall be determined by dividing the salary entitlement for the balance of the school year by the number of months remaining to August 31st next.

D)  Final Payments  - where a teacher leaves the employ of the Board during the course of the school year, the final payment shall be so adjusted that the teacher shall receive, for the part of the school year employed such fraction of the salary for the whole year as the number of teaching days employed is of the number of days prescribed by the Minister of Education for that school year.

E)  Payment shall be made by direct deposit to the Canadian financial institution of the teacher’s choice. The teacher shall designate one account to which the direct deposit shall be made.

ARTICLE 7: SALARY SCHEDULE

A) The salary schedule herein shall reflect, for the time period covered by this Agreement, the net amount after Dental and Extended Health Plan deduction, as per the requirements of the Collateral Dental and Extended Health Plan Agreement.

B) For comparison purposes, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Division shall provide the Association, annually in September, an updated schedule showing the gross salary, and an updated schedule showing the net amount after Dental and Extended Health Plan deduction.

WHEREAS pursuant to a certain collective agreement dated June 29, 2020, made between the Division and the Association, the Division has agreed to participate in the administration of the Manitoba Public School Employees Dental & Extended Health Benefits Plan (the “Plan”) for all of the eligible employees (the “Employees”) as described by the Manitoba Public School Employees Benefits Trust (the “Trust”) in the employ of the Division; and

WHEREAS the Division and the Association desire to set forth the terms and conditions under which the Division shall so participate in the administration of the Plan; and

WHEREAS pursuant to a certain agreement made between the Manitoba School Boards Association, the Manitoba Teachers’ Society and the Trust, the Trust is responsible for the formulation, implementation and operation of the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

  1. The preamble hereto shall form an integral part hereof. 
  2. The terms and conditions of the Plan shall be as formulated by the Trust. 
  3. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Division and the Association shall comply with any administrative or underwriting requirements in respect to the Plan stipulated by the Trust and/or by the insurer appointed by the Trust to administer the Plan.
  4. The Division shall make the following payments:
  1. Subject to paragraph (b) which follows, for September, 2020 the Division shall pay monthly
    $99.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Dental plan and/or $126.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Extended Health plan, said $99.00 and $126.00 being the monthly rates for family coverage under each plan.

  3. For each year thereafter, the Division shall pay monthly on behalf of each Employee an amount not to exceed the amount payable by the Division for each Employee in the preceding year (taking into account payments referred to in both sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 4) increased or decreased by a percentage equivalent to the percentage negotiated or awarded on average for the salary schedule of the Employees in the current year.
  1. It is understood and agreed by the Association that any eligible Employees employed on or after the effective date of the implementation of the Plan shall be required to participate in the Plan unless entitled to elect out of the Plan as may be permitted under the terms thereof. 
  2. This Agreement may be terminated by either of the parties hereto effective the first day of September of a particular calendar year provided that not less than 12 months written notice of such termination is given by the party terminating this Agreement to the other party hereto.
