PREAMBLE
This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Manitoba Public Schools’ Act and the Education Department Act.
It is the intent and purpose of the parties to this Agreement to promote and improve the working relations between the Board and the Association, to establish a salary schedule as provided for in the Individual Statutory Contract, to establish certain other conditions deemed advisable and to provide a basis for improving the professional services rendered to the school children and taxpayers of the School District of Mystery Lake.
Whenever used in this collective agreement “Manitoba Education” shall mean the appropriate department within the Department of Education for the Province of Manitoba.
A teacher’s salary shall consist of a basic allowance for professional and academic training in accordance with the salary classification scale set out in Article 2, Section 2.04 plus additional applicable allowances as follows:
The rating and accredited years of experience as established by Manitoba Education shall determine the placement of the teacher on the salary scale and shall determine the allowances for accredited experience, except where teachers improve their qualifications. In such cases, the provisions of Article 2.03 shall apply.
Teachers’ salaries shall be paid in twenty-four (24) equal successive installments paid on the 15th and 30th of each month except in February when the installments will be paid on the 15th and 28th of the month.
c. Classification of Teachers
The onus is on the teacher:
One increment will be granted for each year of related work experience up to three (3) years, thereafter one increment will be granted for each two (2) years of related work experience to a maximum of three increments – to a maximum of six (6) increments for nine (9) years of related work experience. Total number of increments shall not be greater than the required amount of increments needed to get a maximum salary.
In areas of employment in which a journeyman certificate is not issued, related work experience shall be calculated from the time the person became qualified in the area of employment by virtue of the fact that the person held a position in the area of employment. However, only those years of employment in the particular area shall be counted as related work experience.
The salary of a teacher whose educational qualifications do not allow for him or her to be placed on the present salary schedule shall be subject to negotiations between the Association and the Board. These negotiations shall commence within fourteen (14) days of notice of intent being given by either party.
Any teacher who improves his or her professional or academic qualifications during any part of the year shall be paid according to those improved qualifications as provided in this Agreement.

The Board recognizes the principle of Sabbatical Leave and will consider each applicant for said leave on his/her individual merit.
When a teacher is granted Sabbatical Leave, he/she shall be entitled to:
This leave shall not count as experience for increment purposes unless recognized by Manitoba Education.
The teacher shall not sign a contract with another school division/district while on Sabbatical Leave.
A teacher on Sabbatical Leave shall continue to have Group Life Insurance Plan, Drug, Ambulance/Semi-Private Hospital Plan, Dental Plan, Vision Plan and Salary Continuance Plan available to him/her.
General
Maternity Leave
Parental/Adoptive Leave
Top-Up Benefits
For greater certainty, a teacher who is receiving employment insurance benefits shall be entitled to:
unless the teacher takes a shorter period of Maternity Leave and/or Parental/Adoptive Leave in which case, the pay and/or top-up will be pro-rated to reflect the actual number of teaching days taken. The parties acknowledge that the top-up payments made by the District for Maternity Leave may extend into the period of time that the teacher is on Parental Leave but the payment is intended to be a top-up of the Maternity Leave benefits.
This Article shall not apply to any teacher who is employed on a term contract during the teacher’s first year of employment. All other teachers shall be eligible to receive the top-up benefits once they have been employed for a period of seven (7) months by the District
A teacher being a member of the Manitoba Teachers’ Society Committee or of the Executive Committee or any branch thereof, or of any special committee of the Society, or being appointed an official representative or delegate of the Society, or any branch thereof, and being authorized by the Executive Committee, shall be excused from school duties for either purpose or both purposes providing that collectively the total number of days does not exceed eighty-five (85) days with a maximum of six (6) teachers being absent on any occasion. On two (2) occasions per year, more than six (6) teachers may be absent subject to substitute teachers being available. The cost of providing a substitute teacher salary must be paid by the Society. No additional leave of absence within this clause will be available except with the consent and approval of the Board. In all cases, the teacher shall notify the Board thereof prior to taking such leave.
When a teacher is absent from teaching duties for one half (1/2) day to ten (10) consecutive teaching days, unless it is for illness or other reasons heretofore stated in this agreement, written permission of the Board must be obtained and any teacher thus absent from duty may have “per diem” less thirty percent (30%) of his/her annual salary deducted for each day absent from duties. For absence after ten (10) consecutive teaching days, salary may be deducted at the rate of “per diem” for each subsequent consecutive day.
“Per diem” for Article 7.06 shall mean the fraction that one (1) school day bears to the total number of days as prescribed by the Minister in any given school year.
When a teacher indicates his/her intention to return from leave, the Board will attempt to reinstate the teacher in the previously occupied position, or failing this, the Board will attempt to reinstate the teacher in a comparable position.
Teachers called for Jury Duty shall be paid the rate of pay amounting to the difference between the amount paid for jury services, exclusive of expense allowances, and the amount that would have been earned had the teacher worked on such a day.
A teacher who is absent from duties due to inclement weather and related travel conditions shall not suffer a reduction in salary for the time period involved provided that:
i. The R.C.M.P. or Highways Department does not recommend travel due to poor or unsafe driving conditions.
ii. Regular air carriers are unable to fly to Thompson and no alternate arrangements are available to the teacher because of carrier timetables.
Purpose
The purpose of this special leave plan is to provide teachers with a minimal financial package in order that they may take a year’s leave of absence from their teaching duties in order to pursue other interests.
The plan is structured to be a minimal cost to the Board and not place the Board in a difficult position regarding staffing.
The plan will commence July 1st, 1998.
Eligibility
A special leave shall be granted by the Board for those teachers who have a minimum of ten (10) full or part time years of continuous service, including approved leaves, in the School District of Mystery Lake.
Guidelines
A successful applicant shall not be eligible to apply for another leave under Article 7.10 for a period of ten 10 years from the date of their leave.
The Salary payable for the one (1) year leave would be the lesser of the difference between the salary of the teacher on leave and the salary of a Class V 1st year teacher’s salary excluding any allowances, or twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) less prepaid premiums as outlined in these guidelines. Part time teachers will be pro-rated accordingly.
A teacher on leave is eligible to continue participation in group benefits by requesting to do so in writing and prepaying both the teacher portion and employer portion of such benefits in advance of leave commencing. If there is any rate change during the leave, then the teacher would be charged with such increases on return to their duties.
A minimum of one (1) special leave shall be granted during a school year (as defined in the P. S. A. Regulations).
Application for a leave must be made prior to April 1st in the year preceding the next school year.
When there are more than two (2) applicants, a committee comprised of two (2) trustees, the Superintendent and two (2) TTA Executive members will decide on the successful applicants.
On the termination of the Special Leave the teacher(s) will be reinstated in the position occupied by them at the time they commenced their leave, or in a comparable position
With not less than the same wages and benefits, depending on what vacancies are pending at that time.
A special leave shall not be granted concurrently with any other leave.
A special leave shall not count as experience for increment purposes.
A replacement teacher may be hired on a Limited Term General Contract.
A teacher not returning following this leave will not be eligible for any retirement benefits under Article 23.
A teacher shall enter into a formal agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the leave.
Teachers shall not absent themselves from duty for reason of religious holy days without first notifying the Superintendent of Education or designate.
The following notification period shall apply:
The Board shall make the necessary payroll deductions for those eligible teachers.
Regular part time teachers will be paid a partial travel allowance prorated on the basis of teaching time.
A part year teacher will be paid a partial travel allowance prorated as follows:

Teachers engaged after January (1st), 1974 shall be required to participate in the Salary Continuance Insurance Plan presently administered by the Board.
Subject to the Memorandum of Agreement regarding short term disability the Board of Trustees agree to pay the cost of a short term disability plan for teachers. This plan will be used to pay benefits for personal illness after sick leave is exhausted, for the balance of the Long Term Disability Plan waiting period of eighty (80) working days from the last day worked. If the teacher does not qualify for LTD the benefits are paid to the one hundred and thirty-fifth (135th) calendar day from the last day worked.
Teachers working under the terms of this Agreement must, in order to terminate their employment, serve written notice to the Board according to the terms of the Individual Agreement signed by the Chairperson of the School Board, the Secretary-Treasurer and/or their designate(s) and the individual teacher.

In the event a teacher has a grievance, he/she, along with the President of the Thompson Teachers’ Association (or designate), or a staff officer of MTS shall meet with the Superintendent in an attempt to resolve it. Such a meeting must take place within twenty (20) teaching days of its occurrence. The Superintendent will reply in writing within five (5) days.
Step Two
If a satisfactory settlement is not reached, the grievance may be submitted to the Board in writing within five (5) teaching days. A hearing shall take place within five (5) teaching days. A written reply shall be given within five (5) teaching days following the hearing.
Step Three
Failing agreement in Step Two, either party, within five (5) teaching days of receiving the written reply, may state its intention in writing to refer the dispute to an arbitration board as outlined in Article 14.00.
Each of the parties to the dispute shall, within seven (7) days of the date of the written request for arbitration, appoint an arbitrator and shall notify the other party of the appointment. These two arbitrators, within a further period of seven (7) days after their appointment, shall meet and select a Chairperson. Should the two arbitrators fail to agree upon a Chairperson within the required seven (7) days, either party may request the Manitoba Labour Board to appoint a Chairperson. Except as herein provided, the Labour Relations Act shall apply.
A Liaison Committee composed of representatives from the Board and the Association shall meet upon request to discuss matters referred to the Committee by either party. Either party may insist that a meeting be held within ten (10) days after notice has been given.
The District shall pay to members of the Association, interest on any retroactive pay which may be paid to such members, on condition that the interest shall be paid for the period of time between the dates the parties applied to the Minister of Education for arbitration and the date on which any payment is subsequently paid and, in addition, will be paid only on such amounts as would have been outstanding from time to time until such time as payment is finally made. The interest shall be paid on the net pay due each teacher and not the gross pay. Such interest shall be computed at the prevailing Bank of Canada rate at the date of the signing of the Agreement. (Waived for the 2018/2022 Collective Bargaining Agreement)
The Board will release the President of the Thompson Teachers’ Association from fifty percent (50%) of his/her teaching duties. There will be no loss of salary, benefits or years of experience for said President.
An uninterrupted lunch period of fifty-five (55) minutes shall be provided to each teacher in the District between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Effective September 1996 the Board shall provide parking space per teacher at no charge to the teacher. This space shall include continuous adequate power from November 15th to March 31st or as needed due to climatic conditions.
It is agreed that all employees are entitled to a working environment free from physical violence, verbal abuse or the threat of physical assault. Administrative Procedure 8.100 Freedom From Workplace Violence shall apply.
Teachers have a duty to render medical assistance in an emergency. Except as noted previously, teachers have the right to decline to administer medication or other medical or physical procedures on a regular or predictable basis.
Participation in extra-curricular activities by teachers is voluntary.
Effective September 2015:
The Board shall offer an early leaving incentive to all teachers with ten (10) or more years of continuous employment with the District to be paid according to the following schedule:
For a), b), c), d) and e) above, the teacher’s age on his/her last day of employment with the District shall be used.
In all cases the first annual payment shall commence the month immediately following termination of employment with the District. Subsequent payments where applicable shall be made on the anniversary date of the first payment.
In the event of the death of a teacher who is receiving benefits under this plan, payments shall continue to be made, according to the above schedule, to his/her estate.
No person covered by this Collective Agreement shall be disciplined without just and reasonable cause.
The District shall provide, upon proof by the teacher, a tax receipt for any materials purchased for the classroom or teaching assignment, to a maximum of five hundred dollars ($500.00). Such material shall be considered as donated to the School District.
In administering this collective agreement the employer shall act reasonably, fairly and in good faith, and in a manner consistent with the collective agreement as a whole and as per the Labour Relations Act.
No teacher, on staff, shall suffer a reduction or loss of basic salary or allowances by reason of the adoption of related articles in this Agreement (providing all conditions of employment remain the same).

Re: Short Term Disability Plan
Effective the Fall Term 2004, the Thompson Teachers’ Association agrees to forego the 5/12th portion of the E.I. rebate currently being paid to members of the Thompson Teachers’ Association in consideration of the increase in Short Term Disability benefits from sixty (60) working days to eighty (80) working days and one hundred five (105) calendar days to one hundred thirty-five (135) calendar days effective the Fall Term 2004.
The parties herewith agree that such consideration constitutes good and fair value for the E.I. rebate being waived.
The parties further agree that should the E.I. rebate program be terminated, the Short Term Disability Plan will revert to providing a benefit based on the 2003 level of sixty (60) working days and one hundred five (105) calendar days.

Re: School Staffing
For school staffing for September, 2005 it is planned that elementary schools will be minimally staffed by dividing total enrolment (K = ½) by 22 and adding to this total the number of Principals and Vice Principals.
Special education teachers, instructional music, home economics and industrial arts provisions shall be in addition to the teachers provided by the above formula.
While it is the intention that the formula will serve as a guide for each elementary school, flexibility must be retained so that teachers assigned in order that the formula is retained across the elementary school system and in order that allocation relates to any particular need which may exist in any one school.
For example, in a school of 560 students (K = ½) a staffing pattern is indicated as follows:
Sep 81 |

Re: Northern Travel Allowance
Attention Kelly Knott
Secretary-Treasurer
Re: July 1st, 2018– June 30th, 2022 Collective Bargaining Agreement
The Thompson Teachers’ Association of the Manitoba Teachers’ Society, the School District of Mystery Lake and Revenue Canada Taxation recognize the additional cost of travel associated with living in the North. As such, in common with many other employees/employers in the region, a four thousand dollars ($4,000.00) portion of the annual salary has been identified as northern travel allowance in the 2018-2022 collective agreement.
The Thompson Teachers’ Association of the Manitoba Teachers’ Society agrees to and does hereby indemnify and save the School District of Mystery Lake harmless for all claims, demands, actions, and proceedings of any kind and from all costs which may arise or be taken against the District administering a portion of the teacher’s salary as Northern Allowance and reporting the same for tax purposes to Revenue Canada.
Yours truly,
President
Thompson Teachers’ Association of the MTS
