Teachers shall be paid at the rate of approximately 1/24th (one-twenty-fourth) of their annual rate semi-monthly, payable on the 15^th (fifteenth) and the last banking day of each month until such time as all of their salary has been paid to them.

25-2

Teachers hired to commence their teaching duties after the first teaching day of the fall term shall have the salary due them between date of commencement of duties and the following June computed on the basis of:

 

Number of days taught/days in school year X annual salary and paid to them in equal semi-monthly installments from date of commencement to August 31st following.

25-3

Notwithstanding 25-1 and 25-2 above, teachers hired on term contract shall be paid in semi-monthly installments, the salary due to them between the date of commencement of duties and the last date of their contract.  Total salary due shall be paid in full by last day of their contract.

25-4

Adjustments in salary resulting from a change in a teachers’ salary entitlement pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated and paid as follows:

 

1. For changes effective on the 1st of January, the remaining 16 semi-monthly installments shall be so adjusted that the teacher shall receive 60% of the increase in the annual salary rate.

 

2. For changes effective on any other day, the remaining semi-monthly installments from the date that the change becomes effective to August 31^st next, shall be so adjusted that the teacher shall receive such fraction of the increase in the annual salary rate that the total number of days of employment remaining in the school year from the effective date of the change is of the number of days as prescribed by the Minister of Education for that school year.

25-5

July and August cheques shall be payable on the 15^th (fifteenth) and the last banking day of the respective months.

25-6

Where a teacher leaves the employ of the Division during the course of the year, the final payment shall be so adjusted to reflect the number of days taught in the school year, that is:

             

                      (# of days taught                 X annual salary) - salary paid = final payment

                      (# of days in school year

Any administrative costs in future changes to a designated financial institution shall be borne by the member of the Association who requests such a change.
