A. For the purpose of the salary schedule, teachers shall be classified according to the salary classification issued by The Professional Certification Section of the Administration and Professional Certification Branch of the Department. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, for the purpose of this agreement the corresponding classification shall be as follows:
Class 3
Class 4
Class 5
Class 6
Class 7
B. Classification of vocational industrial arts teachers shall be determined by the Department. Where the Department’s classification is Class 3 or less, including a Limited Teaching Permit, the vocational industrial arts teacher shall be placed in Class 3.
Any teacher who improves his or her academic or professional qualifications which will place him or her in a higher classification, during any part of the year, shall be paid according to those improved qualifications. Such increases in salary shall become effective at the beginning of the term following fulfilment of the requirements raising him or her to the next class. That is, a teacher completing a university year at summer school shall be paid for the newly completed year from the opening of school in September of that year provided that said teacher files, with the Secretary of the Division, satisfactory evidence of his or her improved qualifications before November 30th, or by February 28th if the change is to be effective January 1st. Satisfactory evidence is defined as a written statement from the teacher subject to a statement of confirmation from the Professional Certification Section of the Administration and Professional Certification Branch of the Department.
A. If the Division creates a new teacher position that falls within the bargaining unit but is not covered under the collective agreement, and if the requirements are different than the Department’s classification system and the provisions in Art. 3.04 — Basic Salary Schedule and Article 3:07 — Annual Increments, the parties will negotiate the salary for the position.
If the Board determines that the position is to receive an allowance, the parties will negotiate an allowance for the position.
B. The parties will make all reasonable efforts to negotiate the salary prior to offering the position to a prospective candidate.

The amount of 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 over the total number of teaching days in the fall and spring terms as prescribed by the Minister of Education, multiplied by the salary rates in effect during the fall and spring term and aggregated.
A) Salary payments shall be made by direct deposit on or before the twenty-fifth day of each month or on the last teaching day before a break, whichever is sooner but no earlier than the twentieth day of the month.
B) Salaries of a teacher employed as of the first teaching day of the school year shall be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly instalments, with the July and August deposits made at the end of June. For calculation purposes, the school year salary shall be deemed to be defined as the fall term representing 40%, and the spring term as 60% of the salary rates in effect.
C) Salaries of a teacher commencing employment after the first teaching day of the school year shall be paid in instalments calculated as follows:
i) In the first month of employment, 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 prescribed by the Minister for the school year.
ii) Thereafter, 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.
D) A teacher employed for a specific term of less than a school year, shall be paid monthly in approximately equal instalments. Any and all adjustments will be made on the final payment.
E) When by reason of changes in the terms of this agreement the salary of a teacher is changed, the new salary shall be paid in the month following the date of signing of the agreement and any retroactive adjustments shall be included in the salary pay for that month.
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 school year as the number of teaching days employed is of the number of days prescribed by the Minister for that school year.
The Division shall pay, to members of the Association, interest on the net amount of any retroactive pay based on the average salary in the Division which may be paid to such members, calculated from the date on which the monies would have been due to the date of actual payment. The interest shall be computed at the lesser of 7% or the rate paid in a regular savings account at the Division's financial institution on the date of signing.
