1.  Hours of Work - Incumbent Laboratory Assistants

(a)  For those laboratory assistants employed by the Division as at January 1st , 1992 it has been agreed that the full time hours of work for these incumbents will continue to be thirty (30) hours per week, six (6) hours per day for as long as they remain employed on a part time basis unless the individual is granted an increase in assignment, the portion of the increase shall be determined on the basis of thirty-five (35) hours a week as equivalent to full time.

(b)  For those laboratory assistants employed as at January 1st, 1992 and who are subsequently laid off, the Division will pay a retraining allowance of $2,500, half paid on proof of enrolment in a course of retraining, half paid on successful completion.  A laboratory assistant who has been laid off must apply for the retraining allowance within twelve (12) months from the effective date of lay off.  Acceptance of a retraining allowance by a laboratory assistant shall be deemed to be an abandonment of recall rights under the lay off policy.  Laboratory assistants can qualify for the retraining allowance only on one (1) occasion.
  
2.  Additional Vice-Principals

  As a result of the negotiations for a new Collective Agreement, it is agreed that the Division would establish, in addition to those provided by Article 10.02(c), ten (10) vice-principal positions.  These would be established on the following basis:

 a) eight positions currently in place
  
 b) two additional positions to be added September 1st, 2011.

 Placement of these vice-principal positions would be made following consultation with the Association to address situations where the needs of the school and the community warrant additional administrative assistance.
