ARTICLE 6: PAYMENT OF SALARIES

Basic Entitlement

The amount of the 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 divided by the total number of teaching days in the school year, as prescribed by the Department of Education, multiplied by the salary rates in effect during the following Fall and Spring Terms and aggregated.

Method of Payment

1. Salaries shall be paid on a twelve month basis on or before the last teaching Friday of the month for all employees except for Term employees starting after the first day of school.  Those Term employees will be paid on a 10 month basis with no accrual of salary for July and August.  Stated exceptions being the months of March, June and December, when payment shall be made on the last teaching day of said months, contingent upon completion of contractual duties.  July and August salary will be paid in two separate direct deposits on the last teaching day in June.

 

2. Each teacher shall receive an advance, payable on the 15^th of each month, equivalent to approximately 50% of net earnings for one month.  The advance will be payable on the last banking day prior to the 15^th, when the 15^th of the month falls on a weekend.

 

3. Salaries of a teacher commencing employment, or returning to active employment following an unpaid leave of absence, after the first teaching day of the school year, shall be paid in installments calculated as follows:

1. In the first month of employment, if the teacher is hired between the 1^st and 15^th of the month, the salary shall be paid in the fraction of the salary rate in effect as the total number of days employed for the school year, 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 31^st next. 
2. In the first month of employment if a teacher is hired between the 16^th and last day of the month, 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 as prescribed for the school year.  Thereafter, the monthly installments shall be determined by dividing the salary entitlement for the balance of the school year by the number of months remaining to August 31^st next.

 

4. Final Payments - 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 year as the number of teaching days employed is of the number of days prescribed by the Minister of Education for that school year.

WHEREAS pursuant to a certain collective agreement dated April 29, 2021, made between the Division and the Association, the Division has agreed to participate in the administration of the Manitoba Public School Employees Dental & Extended Health Benefits Plan (the “Plan”) for all of the eligible employees (the “Employees”) as described by the Manitoba Public School Employees Benefits Trust (the “Trust”) in the employ of the Division; and

WHEREAS the Division and the Association desire to set forth the terms and conditions under which the Division shall so participate in the administration of the Plan; and

WHEREAS pursuant to a certain agreement made between the Manitoba School Boards Association, the Manitoba Teachers’ Society and the Trust, the Trust is responsible for the formulation, implementation and operation of the Plan.

NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. The preamble hereto shall form an integral part hereof.
2. The terms and conditions of the Plan shall be as formulated by the Trust.
3. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, the Division and the Association shall comply with any administrative or underwriting requirements in respect to the Plan stipulated by the Trust and/or by the insurer appointed by the Trust to administer the Plan.
4. The Division shall make the following payments:

1. Subject to paragraph (b) which follows, for September, 2018 the Division shall pay monthly
   $99.50 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Dental plan and/or $124.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Extended Health plan, said $99.50 and $124.00 being the monthly rates for family coverage under each plan. Such payments shall be made to the Trust or to such party as the Trustees shall designate in writing.

Subject to paragraph (b) which follows, for September, 2019 the Division shall pay monthly
$105.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Dental plan and/or $126.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Extended Health plan, said $105.00 and $126.00 being the monthly rates for family coverage under each plan.
