(b) Extended Substitution
Commencement of the sixth (6th) consecutive day of substituting as a substitute 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 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 3, retroactively to the first day of such service.
(ii) In-service days, administration days or days when the Institute closes 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) 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 provision of Article 8 shall 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 sick leave day shall not constitute an interruption of the extended substitute teaching assignment.
(c) The Institute 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 Institute’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.
(f) Manitoba Teachers’ Society fees and Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology Teachers’ Association fees shall be deducted from a substitute teachers’ pay.
The Association shall indemnify and save harmless the Institute from any and all losses, costs, liabilities or expenses suffered or sustained by the Institute as a result of any claim or legal action arising from the deduction of The Manitoba Teachers’ Society fees provided, however, that should the Association so require, it shall be permitted to take over and conduct such legal action and make such settlement thereof as it shall see fit.
(g) The only matters that may be grieved under the Settlement of Differences Article 24 by a substitute teacher of the Association on behalf of the substitute teacher are the provisions of Article 27, Substitute Teachers, and the substantive rights and obligations of employment-related and human rights statutes to the extent that they are incorporated into this Collective Agreement.
