- In the event that a substitute teacher substitutes continuously for the same regular full-time or part-time teacher for six (6) consecutive days, the substitute will be paid for each day taught at the per diem rate (to be calculated as 1/x of the salary to which a teacher of the same qualifications and experience would be entitled under the basic salary schedule of the current collective agreement, where x=the number of days in the current school year)

- A substitute teacher shall be allowed one (1) day of sick leave with pay for each nine (9) consecutive days taught in an assignment. Sick leave days shall not accumulate from assignment to assignment. The use of a sick day with pay shall not constitute an interruption of consecutive substitute teacher in an assignment. For purposes of sick leave, an assignment shall be defined as continuously substituting for the same regular full time or part time teacher.
