Effective the first day of the Fall Term, 2021 – COLA**.
**COLA will be determined as follows: In January 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter, when the 12 month (January to December 2021) average annual Statistics Canada Consumer Price Index for Manitoba – All items, change is made known, the increase will be applied retroactively to September 1, 2021.
*** Please refer to the Letter of Agreement – Manitoba Public School Employees Extended Health Plan for the salary schedule NET of annual benefit premiums.
The minimum rates indicated in the basic schedule are for teachers with less than one (1) year of teaching experience before joining the Brandon School Division teaching staff. For teachers with one (1) year or more of teaching experience after certification, the minimum rates are increased according to the schedule as set forth in Article 7.01 for each year of teaching experience recognized by Manitoba Education, up to the maximum provided in each class. The onus for the accuracy of teaching experience by Manitoba Education rests with the teacher concerned.
Each teacher coming on staff with the Division shall receive from the Division a letter confirming the classification and experience of the teacher as recognized by Manitoba Education. The teacher upon receipt of the letter shall have thirty (30) teaching days to protest any alleged error or omission. A copy of the above letter shall be forwarded by the Division to the Secretary of the Association.
A teacher shall proceed from his/her initial salary by annual increments, as indicated in the basic schedule, until he/she has reached the maximum rate for his/her class or position, whichever is the higher.
The anniversary date for annual increments for all teachers shall be the first day of the teaching month that follows the date on which the teacher completes a year of teaching experience, equivalent to two hundred (200) days of full-time employment as recognized by Manitoba Education and Training. The pay adjustments for increments shall be made accordingly.
Related experience for teachers holding a special certificate in and employed in the areas of vocational industrial education, agriculture, and marketing education, effective September 01, 1974, shall be credited to such teachers on the basis of increments as follows:
one (1) increment for each of the first three (3) years of experience, and one (1) increment for each two (2) years of experience thereafter to the end of their salary classification. For purposes of this calculation, related experience shall be defined as full years of employment in an occupation directly associated to the teaching position held or the teaching authority provided by Manitoba Education, including years served in apprenticeship or equivalent. Also, for purposes of this calculation, the number of full years shall be defined as the whole number obtained by dividing the total number of months of acceptable related experience by twelve (12). Satisfactory proof of all such experience shall be filed upon acceptance of a teaching position and shall be subject to scrutiny by the Superintendent's office and a designated representative of the Association and approval by the School Board.
Teachers receiving increments under the provisions of this Article shall not be eligible to apply said years of experience for remuneration provided in other Articles of this agreement.

Annual salaries determined in accordance with the provisions of this collective agreement shall be paid on the basis of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual salary payable for each month, September to August.
It is understood and agreed upon by the parties to this agreement that the July and August salary payments shall be deemed to have been earned in the immediately preceding school year.
Salaries shall be paid by direct deposit in the teacher’s personal account at the financial institution of his/her choice on the last teaching day of the month or last business day in the case of July and August, including the year of resignation as of June 30th. Adjustments in salary shall be made in accordance with the following clauses.
The salary of a teacher commencing employment or returning to employment following an unpaid leave of absence other than on the first teaching day of the school year shall be calculated as follows:
If a teacher's contract shall be terminated as provided therein or if a teacher shall retire or if a teacher commences a leave of absence without pay before the end of a school year, the final salary payment shall be so adjusted that the teacher shall receive, for the part of the year taught, such fraction of the salary for the whole year as the number of days taught is of the total number of days in the current school year as prescribed by the Minister. All remaining salary as yet unpaid shall be paid to such a teacher within twenty (20) business days of the termination of employment or commencement of leave of absence.
Adjustments in salary resulting from a change in a teacher's salary entitlement pursuant to this Agreement, excluding Article 6.04, shall be calculated and paid as follows:
The Division shall pay to members of the Association interest on any retroactive pay which may be paid to such members, on condition that the interest shall be paid for the period of time between the date one of the parties applies for interest arbitration and the date on which any payment is subsequently paid and, in addition, will be paid only on such amounts as would have been outstanding from time to time until such time as payment is finally made.
The interest paid to each full-time teacher shall be calculated on the "average net retroactive pay" determined as hereinafter provided. Such interest shall be computed at the average rate at which the Division borrows funds during the twelve (12) month period preceding the calculation date or at nine percent (9%), whichever is the lesser. Part-time teachers shall be paid interest on a prorated basis.
The "average net retroactive pay" shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
A x B = C ¸ D = E
Where:
A = 55%, being the agreed upon percentage of net retroactive pay to gross retroactive pay.
B = total gross retroactive pay.
C = net retroactive pay.
D = number of full-time-equivalent (F.T.E.) teachers receiving retroactive pay.
E = average net retroactive pay per F.T.E. teacher.
The annual provincial fees of the Manitoba Teachers’ Society shall be deducted from the salary payments of every teacher employed by the Division.
The annual local fees of the Brandon Teachers’ Association shall be deducted from the salary payments of every teacher employed by the Division.
The fees, both provincial and local, of every teacher shall be deducted monthly from his/her salary payments, and the Division shall pay over to the Manitoba Teachers’ Society and to the Association the appropriate sums, payable not less frequently than once in each month.
The Division shall administer, in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement between the parties, The Manitoba Teachers' Society Disability Benefits Plan No. 51155 for participating employees.
The premium for the plan shall be paid by each employee participating in the plan and shall be deducted monthly from salary payments of those employees and timely remitted to the plan.
If a teacher terminates his/her employment with the Division, the sick leave advanced but not subsequently accumulated shall be reimbursed to the Division or otherwise recovered by the Division.
Teachers employed under contract at a time other than the start of the school year shall receive a prorated advance on sick leave as hereinbefore provided.
As required by the Employment Insurance Reduction Program, the amount of employment insurance premium reduction allowed and granted to an employer must be shared to the extent of 5/12 with the employees to whom the reduction rate is applicable. The employment insurance premium reduction amount will be submitted to the Association by April 30 of each year.
A teacher shall be entitled to use up to five (5) days of accumulated sick leave per school year to attend to the illness or injury or medical appointment of his or her spouse or common law partner, child, parent, sibling, step-parent or grandparent.
Sick leave is not payable to a teacher:
The Division may require teachers to produce reports from a duly qualified health care practitioner(s) on matters related to their illness and absence from the workplace.
With respect to maternity/parental leave, the Manitoba Employment Standards Code will apply except as provided herein.
Every female teacher shall be entitled to maternity leave and every teacher shall be entitled to parental leave in accordance with this article.
The teacher and the Division may mutually agree to extend the length of the leave if the teacher so desires. Any such arrangements shall be confirmed in writing by the Division.
A teacher taking Maternity Leave and/or Parental/Adoptive Leave pursuant to this Article shall be entitled to receive pay equivalent to ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary at the time the leave commences plus any subsequently negotiated salary adjustments for up to one hundred and thirty-five (135) teaching days, which pay will include any employment insurance benefits received in accordance to this Article.
The Division shall pay a teacher on Maternity Leave and/or Parental/Adoptive Leave:
For greater certainty, a teacher who is receiving employment insurance benefits shall be entitled to:
unless the teacher takes a shorter period of Maternity Leave or Parental/Adoptive 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.
Non-Application: 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.
Where a maternity/parental leave expires during a school term, the teacher shall be entitled to return to the same or comparable position at the commencement of the next ensuing term immediately following the expiration of such leave. In the interim, the teacher shall be entitled to return to such position as the Superintendent may, in his/her discretion, decide, provided that the teacher shall, in either event, be entitled to not less than the same salary and benefits received by the teacher prior to the commencement of maternity/parental leave.
For the purpose of this section, “term” means either the months of September to December or January to June, as the case may be.
A teacher shall have the right to one (1) day paid leave where the spouse has given birth to a child or where the teacher has adopted a child within two (2) weeks preceding or following the adoption or birth of that child. There will be no deduction of salary for such leave.
In the event of the death of a teacher’s spouse or partner, child or stepchild, the teacher will be allowed a leave of absence of up to seven (7) teaching days without loss of salary.
In the event of the death of a teacher’s parent the teacher will be allowed a leave of absence of up to five (5) teaching days without loss of salary.
In the event of the death of a teacher’s sibling(s), step-sibling(s), grandchild(ren), step-grandchild(ren), grandparent(s), parent(s)-in-law, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law, the teacher will be allowed a leave of absence of up to three (3) days without loss of salary.
Said days referred to in 15.01, 15.02 and 15.03 above shall be taken between the day of death and four (4) calendar days after the funeral, both days inclusive. These days need not be taken consecutively.
In the event of the death of a brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandparent-in-law, uncle, spouse’s uncle, aunt, spouse’s aunt, nephew or niece, a teacher shall be allowed a leave of absence of up to one (1) day without loss of salary to attend the funeral.
For the purpose of this article the definition of partner is limited to where a teacher establishes that he/she has been residing with a person of the same or opposite gender and lives with that person in a marriage-like relationship and has publicly represented that person as his/her spouse, then that person shall be deemed to be the teacher’s partner.
A teacher who is summoned for jury duty or who receives a summons or subpoena to appear as a witness in a court proceeding, other than a court proceeding occasioned by the employee's private or personal affairs, shall be granted a leave of absence without loss of pay for the required period of absence. All jury or witness fees, excluding expense reimbursements, received by the employee shall be remitted to the Division.
The teacher shall have responsibility to provide to the Division satisfactory proof of the necessity of this absence. Absence from work shall be minimized.
A teacher, being a member of The Manitoba Teachers’ Society Executive Committee, or the Executive Committee of any branch thereof, or of any special committee of the Society, or being appointed an official representative or delegate of the Society or of any branch thereof, and being authorized by the Executive Committee of the Society to attend a meeting of the committee of which he/she is a member, or to act as a representative or delegate of the Society or of any branch of the Society in a matter of Society business requiring absence from school, shall have the right to attend such meetings or to act as such representative or delegate and shall be excused from school duties for either purpose or both purposes on not more than a total of twelve (12) teaching days in any school year.
A part time President of the Association and any teacher elected or appointed to the Disability Benefits Plan Case Management Committee or the Disability Benefits Plan Committee, shall be allowed a total of fifteen (15) days in any school year, provided that a substitute satisfactory to the Division can be secured and that the cost of providing such a substitute is assumed by the Society.
Any teacher elected to the Provincial Executive, to a maximum of two (2) teachers, shall be allowed a total of forty (40) days per teacher in any school year, provided that a substitute satisfactory to the Division can be secured and that the cost of providing such a substitute is assumed by the Society. Leave of Absence days described in this paragraph are not a part of the one hundred (100) day total stipulated in the following paragraph.

Teachers shall not have the right to grieve individual student disciplinary decisions made by the school administration.
The Association recognizes the right of the Division to transfer teachers between schools within the Division.
The Division shall provide to any teacher being considered for transfer an opportunity for consultation with respect to the transfer and the details of the intended assignment. The most reasonable notice possible given the circumstances shall be provided to the teacher.
The right to transfer shall be exercised fairly and reasonably, having due regard for the educational needs of the Division, and the interests of the teacher involved.
When a teaching position becomes vacant within the Division, preference shall be given to any currently employed part-time teacher who applies for the position over any applicant from outside the Division, provided the Brandon applicant has training, academic qualifications, and experience equal to those of any outside applicants or better than those of outside applicants.
When more than one part-time teacher from the Division applies for a full-time vacant position, and the teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience to fill the position, preference shall be given to the teacher having the greater seniority in accordance with Article 25 – Layoff.
A substitute teacher is employed by the Division either to replace a regular teacher or fulfill an assignment which is less than twenty (20) consecutive days in duration.

This rate of pay shall be retroactive to the first day of the teaching assignment and shall continue in effect until the end of that specific teaching assignment. In-service days, administrative days and school closure days shall not constitute a break in the consecutive days for that specific teaching assignment.

The Division will not introduce as evidence at any Arbitration Hearing and an Arbitration Board shall not accept as evidence any document which is disciplinary in nature, unless the employee has been previously advised of the nature of the discipline and has been provided with a copy of such document on request.
Definitions
Where it is determined by the Division that a lay-off is necessary and where natural attrition, transfers, sabbaticals and leaves of absence do not effect the necessary reduction in staff, the Division shall give first consideration to retaining teachers having the greatest length of employment with the Division.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of lay-off the Division shall have the right to disregard the length of employment of any teacher if such teacher does not have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience for a specific teaching assignment.
The Division shall maintain a seniority list showing the date upon which each employee’s employment commenced and the total years of employment for the purpose of determining seniority. Such list shall be posted in each school by February 1st of each school year and a copy sent to the Association. The Association and/or the teacher shall be permitted to protest any alleged omission or incorrect listing until February 15th of that year. In the event of an omission or incorrect listing being brought to the Division’s attention after February 15th, the teacher shall have the right to correct the listing at the next scheduled posting of the list.
Seniority for the purposes of this agreement is defined to mean the length of continuous employment as a teacher with the Division.
Where teachers have the same length of continuous employment with the Division, seniority shall be determined on the basis of total teaching employment in the Division.
Where teachers have the same length of employment in (.05) and (.06), the seniority shall be determined on the basis of total teaching employment in Manitoba.
Where teachers have the same seniority as defined in (.05), (.06) and (.07) above, the order of seniority shall be determined on the basis of total teaching experience recognized by the Province of Manitoba for classification purposes.
If the length of teaching experience as defined in (.05), (.06), (.07), and (.08) above is equal, the teacher to be declared surplus shall be determined by lot.
A laid off teacher shall lose seniority and the rights to further consideration for continued employment (recall) for any of the following reasons:
A teacher who has lost his/her right of recall as a result of the application of this clause shall be notified in writing as soon as possible that his/her teaching contract has been terminated.
In the event of an impending lay-off, the Division 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. The meeting shall be held no later than the 15th day of April in any school year.
Notice of layoff and a copy of this article 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 layoff, shall indicate, in writing, his/her wish to be placed on the recall list.
If, after layoffs have occurred and for a period of one (1) calendar year after September 30th following the date of layoff, 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, academic qualifications and experience for the position available. Seniority 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, academic qualifications, and 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 the registered letter being received of 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 article (.13) above.
If the Board terminates the contract of a teacher because that teacher is surplus the Division shall provide the teacher with a letter to this effect.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, the foregoing lay-off provisions shall not apply to teachers continuously employed under one (1) contract with the Division for less than one year, or to teachers employed for a specific term where during that term the teacher is employed on the expressly written understanding that such teacher will not after the completion of such term be employed by the Division, provided however, no teacher shall be laid off who has been employed by the Division on a Teacher General (or Form 2) contract if there is a teacher employed under a Limited Term Teacher contract in a position for which the teacher with the Teacher General (or Form 2) contract has the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience.
Security of tenure shall be as set forth in Section 92, of The Public Schools Act. It is agreed that, where a teacher has security of tenure, the intention of the Board to terminate the contract of such a teacher shall be lodged with the Association and the teacher by registered mail.
Every teacher shall be entitled to an uninterrupted duty free lunch period (mid-day intermission) of sixty (60) minutes, exclusive of scheduled non-contact time, between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. of each school day, unless the Brandon Teachers’ Association on behalf of a majority of teachers in a particular school and the administration responsible for that school agree to a different arrangement.
A Liaison Committee shall be appointed, consisting of four (4) representatives from the Association and four (4) representatives from the Division. The Committee shall meet at the request of either party for the purpose of discussing matters of mutual concern. The Committee shall not have jurisdiction to interpret and/or amend any of the terms and conditions contained in the Collective Agreement. Meetings of the Committee shall be co-chaired by a representative of the Association and a representative of the Division. A summary of discussions will be recorded, and a copy provided to each member of the Committee, as well as a copy posted on each school bulletin board.
Participation in extra-curricular duties by teachers is voluntary.
With a minimum of five (5) days of notice to the Division and subject to the availability of a substitute teacher, a teacher shall be granted two (2) days of personal leave per school year without loss of salary.
Such leave is not to extend Spring, Summer or Winter Break or to be used on teachers’ in-service days, parent-teacher days, or pupil evaluation days unless unusual circumstances arise and then the leave may be granted at the discretion of the Division.
If the personal leave day(s) is unused in a school year, a teacher may carry over the day(s) to the next school year. Such personal leave of absence shall be cumulative to a maximum of four (4) days.
WHEREAS some teachers throughout grades K-8 currently have more preparation time than the minimums stipulated in this article, such preparation time shall not be reduced.
The Division and the Association shall jointly administer a Professional Development Fund of a sum equal to the table below, funded by the Division annually.
