A substitute teacher is employed by the Division to either replace a regular teacher or fulfill an assignment which is less than twenty (20) days in duration.
A substitute teacher filling a position for the same teacher for a period of at least five (5) consecutive scheduled working days shall be termed extended substitute teaching. The timetable for an extended substitute teacher shall be the same as the timetable of the teacher being replaced.
Substitutes shall be paid according to their equivalent position on the teacher current agreement salary scale after they have substituted six (6) consecutive days for a teacher retroactive to the first day to substituting. Vacation pay shall be inclusive of salary paid under this article. For purposes of eligibility for salary scale payment part days shall be counted as a consecutive day.
The consecutive nature of a substitute’s assignment shall not be interrupted by the normal breaks in the school cycle or illness. However, these breaks shall not be considered as teaching time for purposes of the calculation of salary.
Substitute teachers shall be paid a daily rate, which includes vacation pay:

Manitoba Teachers’ Society fees and Sunrise Teachers’ Association fees shall be deducted from a substitute teacher’s pay monthly based upon advice by Manitoba Teachers’ Society and Sunrise Teachers’ Association.
The Association shall indemnify and save harmless the Division from any and all losses, costs, liabilities or expenses suffered or sustained by the Division as a result of any claim or legal action arising from the deduction of local Association fees or Manitoba Teachers’ Society fees.
A substitute teacher who has been employed for at least nine (9) consecutive days of extended substitute teaching in a school year shall be entitled to one (1) day of sick leave with pay for each nine (9) days taught in that assignment. Sick leave shall not accumulate from assignment to assignment.
The use of sick leave with pay shall not constitute an interruption of the extended substitute teaching assignment.
A substitute teacher who has been employed for at least twenty (20) days of substitute teaching shall, on the twenty-first (21st) day, be signed to a Limited Term Teacher-General contract, unless the return of the regular teacher or conclusion of the substitute assignment will occur within five working days.
Notwithstanding the above, whenever it is known the assignment is to be at least 20 days, the teacher shall be signed to a limited term contract.
Unless otherwise determined at the time of the assignment, or except in unforeseen circumstances, the timetable for a substitute teacher in any assignment shall normally be the same as the timetable of the teacher who is being replaced.
