The imposition of discipline without just cause by the Division or any agent thereof in the form of written warning(s) and/or suspension(s) with or without pay shall be subject to the following provisions:
As an additional, temporary exception, a teacher may be employed on a Limited Term Teacher General Contract where necessary to meet the Division's obligations specifically arising due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This clause expires on June 30, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
ii) The Board shall maintain a seniority list showing the date upon which each teacher's service commenced and the total length of service for the purpose of determining seniority.
ii) aa) Teachers with One Full School Year or Less
Where a teacher employed under a Teacher-General Contract for a full school year or less and as a result of this article that teacher's contract has been terminated and that teacher is subsequently signed to a new Teacher-General Contract then that teacher's length of service for determining layoff will be retroactive to the first teaching day under the previous Teacher-General Contract with the Division provided that employment is continuous.
For the purpose of this article continuous employment is employment with the Division where there is no break in service. For further clarity summer, spring and winter breaks will not constitute a break in service provided that teacher has a Teacher-General Contract in force and effect on the last teaching day of the summer, winter or spring break and a Teacher-General Contract in force and effect on the first teaching day following that break.
bb) Teachers Employed Under a Limited Term Teacher-General Contract
Where a teacher on a Limited Term Teacher-General Contract becomes employed under a Teacher-General Contract, without a break in service, then the length of service for determining layoff will be retroactive to the start date of the first continuous Limited Term Teacher-General Contract signed with the Pembina Trails School Division (or either of its predecessor Divisions).
For the purpose of this clause a continuous Limited Term Teacher-General Contract will be employment with the Division under a Limited Term Teacher- General Contract where there is no break in service between one Limited Term Teacher-General Contract and another Limited Term Teacher-General Contract or Teacher-General Contract. For further clarity, the summer, winter and spring breaks will not constitute a break in service provided that teacher has a contract in force and effect on the last teaching day of the summer, winter or spring break and a Limited Term Teacher-General or Teacher-General Contract in force and effect on the first teaching day following that summer, winter or spring break.
The provisions of The Manitoba Human Rights Code shall apply.
