1) if the teacher’s two (2) week or ten (10) day waiting period falls entirely on teaching days, ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary plus up to seventy-five (75) teaching days of Maternity Leave top-up calculated at the difference between the teacher’s employment insurance benefit and ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary provided the teacher remains on either Maternity or Parental Leave and continues to receive employment insurance benefits;
2) If the teacher’s two (2) week or ten (10) day waiting period falls partially or entirely within a non-teaching period, ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary for any teaching days and up to eighty-five (85) teaching days of Maternity Leave top-up calculated at the difference between the teacher’s employment insurance benefit and ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary provided the teacher remains on either Maternity or Parental Leave and continues to receive employment insurance benefits;
3) Up to fifty (50) teaching days of Parental Leave top-up calculated at the difference between the teacher’s employment insurance benefit and ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary provided the teacher remains on Parental Leave and continues to receive employment insurance benefits.
i) For greater certainty, a teacher who is receiving employment insurance benefits shall be entitled to:
1) One hundred and thirty-five (135) teaching days of pay and/or top-up benefits if the teacher takes both Maternity Leave and Parental Leave;
2) Eighty-five (85) teaching days of pay and/or top-up benefits if the teacher only take Maternity Leave;
3) Fifty(50) teaching days of pay and/or top-up benefits if the teacher only takes Parental Leave;
unless the teacher takes a shorter period of Maternity Leave or Parental Leave in which case, the pay and/or top-up will be pro-rated to reflect the actual number of teaching days taken. The parties acknowledge that the top-up payments made by the Division for Maternity Leave may extend into the period of time that the teacher is on Parental Leave but the payment is intended to be a top-up of Maternity Leave benefits.
j) This Article shall not apply to any teacher who is employed on a term contract during the teacher’s first year of employment. All other teachers shall be eligible to receive the top-up benefits once they have been employed for a period of seven (7) months by the Division.

A full-time teacher coming under contract at a later date in the school year shall be credited with a pro-rata share of twenty (20) days, calculated to the closest whole day. A regular part-time teacher is entitled to a pro-rata share of twenty (20) days sick leave per year and the principle of accumulation, and the total to be accumulated applies as to a full-time teacher.

The Division shall not require teachers to provide reasons for their requests for personal leave.
Teachers employed on a part-time basis who have a Form 2, Teacher General, or Limited Term Teacher-General contract with the Division shall be entitled to two (2) days leave of absence for personal reasons pro-rated based on full time equivalence.
Unless there are extenuating circumstances, request for leave is on a first come, first served basis. No more than two teachers per school shall be granted leave on the same day.
The personal leave day shall be used in its entirety. One unused day may be carried over for one year entitling a teacher to up to three (3) days leave of absence for personal reasons at no cost to the teacher. No more than two (2) personal leave days may be used consecutively without the approval of the Superintendent or designate.
The provision of two (2) personal leave days shall be pro-rated where a teacher returns from a leave of absence at a time other than the start of the Fall term.

If this committee cannot reach a decision either party may use the provisions of Article 20 of this Agreement to resolve the dispute.
The Division will pay interest at its average cost of borrowing money for the period beginning of the contract year up to the date of payment of the amount of the retroactive pay increase awarded for that contract year.

The Division will endeavor to keep contact time as equal as possible for teachers within individual schools and levels. The student contact time assigned in any school year to a teacher in any one school, during the normal school day may be greater or lesser than the previous school year.
The Association recognizes the right of the Division to transfer teachers employed by the Division to schools under the jurisdiction of the Division.
The Division shall exercise its discretion to transfer in a manner that is fair and reasonable. A copy of all written notices of transfers shall be sent to the President of the Association. The Division shall, wherever possible, consult with teachers who are being involuntarily transferred prior to making a final decision. A copy of all written transfer notices shall be sent to the president of the Association.

However, in the absence of exceptional circumstances, the Division shall be guided by the educational needs of the students and the administrative needs of the Division.
In the case of any teacher who has been given notice of transfer following May 31st and wishes to resign before June 30th of that year, the Division agrees to accept the resignation provided it is offered in writing within 7 days of the notice of transfer.

When it is determined by the Board that a lay off is necessary and where natural attrition, transfers, sabbaticals and leaves of absence do not effect the necessary reduction in staff, a seniority list shall be developed as hereinafter provided. Such a list shall contain the names of those teachers having the least seniority identified in sufficient numbers to enable the Board to lay off the required number of teachers. The Association and the teacher shall be permitted a period of fifteen (15) teaching days after posting of such list to protest in writing to the Board any alleged omission or incorrect listing, but such protest shall be confined to errors in or changes occurring since the posting of the last seniority list.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have the right to disregard the length of service of any teacher in the event of a lay off, if such teacher does not have the necessary training or academic qualifications or experience for a specific teaching assignment.
Seniority for the purpose of this agreement is defined to mean the length of continuous teaching experience from the date of the last hire by the Division beginning with the first day of teaching thereafter within the Division.
For teachers employed by the former River East and Transcona-Springfield School Divisions on June 30th, 2002, the seniority effective July 1st, 2002 shall be the number of years of seniority of the teacher on June 30th, 2002 in the respective divisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a teacher who has been employed under a Limited Term Teacher Contract (previously a Form 2A contract) and is subsequently employed under a Teacher General Contract (previously a Form 2 contract) shall have his/her employment under both the Limited Term Teacher Contract (previously a Form 2A) and Teacher General Contracts (previously a Form 2 contracts) deemed as continuous employment with the division.
The employment under a Limited Term Teacher Contract (previously a Form 2A contract) must normally occur immediately prior to, and be continuous with, the employment under the Teacher General Contract (previously a Form 2 contract), except that the month of July, August and any other time a teacher is not required to teach as prescribed by law or regulation or a period of up to twenty teaching days between the last employment under a Limited Term Teacher Contract (previously a Form 2A contract) and subsequent employment under a Teacher General Contract (previously a Form 2 contract) shall not be considered as an interruption in continuous employment.
Where the teachers have the same length of continuous teaching experience, the order of the seniority list shall be determined on the basis of the total length of employment with the Division.
Where teachers have the same seniority as defined in 19.03, 19.04 and 19.05 the order of seniority shall be determined on the basis of total recognized experience in
Where teachers have the same seniority as defined in 19.03, 19.04, 19.05 and 19.06, the order of seniority shall be determined on the basis of total teaching experience recognized by the
If after the application of 19.03, 19.04, 19.05, 19.06 and 19.07 above the length of teaching experience as determined above is still equal, the teacher to be declared surplus shall be determined by the Division, after consultation with the Association.

c) absent because of illness or accident for more than the maximum number of days accumulated under the provisions of the collective agreement;
d) absent because the Division has granted more maternity leave than required by the Employment Standards Code (C.C.S.M. - E-110).
A laid off teacher shall lose seniority and the rights to further consideration for recall for any of the following reasons:
a) the teacher resigns;
b) the teacher is employed by another school division as a full time teacher on a Teacher General Contract, or equivalent full time contract, approved by the Minister; except those teachers who are employed full time on such a contract for a limited term not to exceed one year;
c) the teacher is not recalled within one (1) calendar year after September 30th following the date of lay off;
d) the teacher’s contract is terminated for cause;
e) any teacher on the recall list who refuses to accept a position for which the teacher has the necessary training or academic qualifications, or experience to perform the work in the positions offered shall forfeit all right of seniority and recall subject to the exception contained in b) hereof. The circumstances as outlined in 19.10 b), refusal to accept employment shall forfeit all claims to the position offered.
In the event of a lay off, the Board shall meet with the Executive of the Association to discuss the implications of the lay off and shall provide the Association with a list of teachers to be laid off and with a copy of the seniority list.
Notice of lay off shall be given to the teacher no later than the first day of May of the school year. The teacher, within ten (10) calendar days of receiving notice of lay off, shall indicate in writing, his/her wish to be placed on the recall list.
If after lay offs have occurred and for a period of one calendar year after the 30th of September following the date of lay off, teachers who have been laid off and have given written notice that they wish to be recalled shall be offered the position first when positions become available, provided such teachers have the necessary training or academic qualifications or experience for the positions available. Seniority with the Board will be used to determine the order in which laid off teachers are offered the available positions provided that the said teachers have the necessary training or academic qualifications or experience.
It shall be the responsibility of the teacher to report an address to which a recall notice can be delivered. Recall notices will be delivered by registered mail to the last reported address given by the teacher and a teacher who is recalled from lay off shall be required to indicate within six (6) working days of registration of same his/her intent to return to work and shall be required to return to work on the date set out in the notice which date shall not be less than fourteen (14) calendar days following such notification unless by mutual agreement.
A teacher’s accumulated sick leave credits shall not be affected if the teacher is recalled as provided in subsection 19.14 above.
If the Board terminates the contract of a teacher because that teacher is laid off, the Board shall at the request of the teacher, provide him/her with a letter to this effect.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement; the foregoing lay off provision shall not apply to teachers continuously employed under contract for an aggregate of less than ten teaching months of paid service, or to teachers employed for a specific term where, during that term the teacher is employed on the express-written understanding that the teacher will not after the completion of such term be employed by the Board; provided however, no teacher who has been employed by the Board for more than an aggregate of ten teaching months of paid service under contract shall be laid off, where teachers with less than an aggregate of ten teaching months of paid service under contract or specific term contracts have not been laid off, having regard to the necessary training or academic qualifications or experience required for the specific teaching assignment of such teacher employed under a specific term contract or of the teacher continuously employed under this collective agreement with the division for less than an aggregate of ten teaching months of paid service under contract.
The Division shall publish a seniority list in every school by 30th November.
Where there is a difference between the parties to, or persons bound by the agreement, or on whose behalf it was entered into concerning its content, meaning, application or violation, the aggrieved party shall within 30 teaching days of the event giving rise to the violation or difference, or within 30 teaching days from the date on which the griever became aware of the event giving rise to the violation or difference, whichever is later, notify the other party in writing stating the nature and particulars of the violation or difference and the solution sought. If a party to the collective agreement claims that the time limit imposed under the collective agreement has not been complied with the parties shall proceed to appoint an Arbitration Board, and if the Arbitration Board is satisfied that the irregularity with respect to the time limit has not prejudiced the parties to the arbitration board, it may, on application of any party to the arbitration, declare that the irregularity does not affect validity of the decision of the Arbitration Board, and the declaration is binding on the parties to the arbitration and on any person affected by the decision of an Arbitration Board.
If the matter is not resolved within ten (10) teaching days from the date of notification, either party may request that the matter be submitted to an arbitration board as herein prescribed. Within seven (7) teaching days of the delivery of the written request to settle the difference by arbitration, each party shall nominate one member to sit on the Arbitration Board.
These two arbitrators within a further period of seven (7) days after their appointment shall meet and select a chairman mutually satisfactory to both. Should the two arbitrators fail to agree upon a chairman within the required seven (7) days, either party may request the Manitoba Labour Board to make the appointment of a chairperson.
Nothing herein shall prohibit the parties from agreeing on a single arbitrator. If the parties so agree, the provisions of this article relating to an Arbitration Board shall apply mutates mutandis, to the single arbitrator.
