The allowance for additional qualifications shall be paid to a teacher effective from the first day of the month following which evidence is filed with the Secretary-Treasurer that such additional qualifications have been obtained, even though confirmation is delayed by the Administration and Teachers’ Certification Branch of the Manitoba Department of Education. The exception to this is evidence submitted in September, October and November in which case the salary allowance shall be paid retroactive to the first day of the school year.
The onus for providing the Division with satisfactory proof of increased qualifications rests with the teacher concerned.
