AGREEMENT
between
The Seine River School Division
(hereinafter called the Board)
and
The Seine River Teachers’ Association
of the
Manitoba Teachers’ Society
(hereinafter called the “Association”)
The Parties hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:
The purpose and object hereof is to establish a salary schedule and other conditions of employment for teachers in the employment of the division and to promote the improvement of the professional and academic standards of such teachers to the benefit of education within the Division.
This agreement shall come into force and effect as from the first day of July A.D. 2018 to the last day of June A.D. 2022 and shall automatically renew itself thereafter unless either party gives the other written notice by registered mail, of the desire to amend, renew, or terminate this agreement on or before the 30th of June of the calendar year in which termination or amendment is desired.
For the purpose of the salary schedule, except as otherwise provided in this agreement, the members of the teaching staff shall be placed in the classification which corresponds to the classification according the teacher by the Professional Certification Section of the Administration and Professional Certification Branch of Manitoba Education.
Limited permit teachers will be classified one class lower than they would be with one year of teacher training. Limited permit teachers classified below Class 1 will be paid $1200 below the minimum of Class 1.
Where increased qualifications are secured which qualify a teacher for an advance in classification on the salary schedule, the resulting increase in salary shall be effective from the 1st day of the month following the filing of satisfactory evidence with the Secretary-Treasurer of the Division. Where qualifications are secured and there is a delay in filing, the following will apply:
Satisfactory evidence shall be documentary evidence that increased qualifications have been registered with the Certification Branch of Manitoba Education Citizenship & Youth.
The onus shall be on the teacher coming on staff of the Board to provide within 60 days of commencement of employment satisfactory evidence of qualification and experience. The salary shall be based on such evidence as is submitted within the said 60 days and any salary adjustment thereafter shall be made effective from the first day of the month following which additional evidence is submitted. Satisfactory evidence shall be documentary evidence that increased qualifications have been registered with the Department of Education. Extension of the 60-day period salary adjustment retroactive to the date of commencement of employment may be granted at the discretion of the Board if and when the delay in submitting evidence is due to circumstances beyond the control of the teacher.

In all cases of absence from teaching duties other than illness, compassionate leave or other reasons as granted at the discretion of the Superintendent, any teacher thus absent from duty shall have a maximum of 1/200 of his annual salary deducted for each day of absence from duties.
The parties to this agreement agree to waive the provisions of this article only for the purposes of renewal of the agreement during the period pf July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022.
The Division 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 apply 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 average rate at which the Division borrows funds during the 12-month period preceding the calculation date or at 8.5%, whichever is less.
Where a teacher leaves the employ of the Board during the course of a school year, all remaining salary will be paid to the teacher within the first 10 days of the month following termination of employment.
Where a teacher is sick, he/she shall, subject to Article 6.02 be entitled to sick leave during his/her sickness and to be paid his/her salary during his/her sick leave; but subject to Article 6.03, the leave shall not exceed 20 teaching days in any school year.
The Board may require that the sickness be certified by a physician.
Where the employment of a teacher is continued for more than one year, the unused portion of the sick leave in any year(s) shall be carried forward and accumulated from year to year to a maximum of:
40 days in the second year
60 days in the third year
80 days in the fourth year
100 days in the fifth year
120 days in the sixth year
130 days in the seventh year
Article 6.03 shall be deemed to have been in effect for all teachers employed in the Division after January 1, 1969.
All teachers shall be notified by the end of September of each year of their total accumulated sick leave entitlement.
When a teacher suffers an on the job injury and is absent from work as a result of that injury, the Division shall continue to pay that teacher’s salary during such absence, limited to the extent of the accumulated sick leave balance at the time of the injury. The period of time absent from work as a consequence of an on-the-job-injury shall be charged against the accumulated sick leave balance and subsequently returned upon return to work. The Division shall reimburse expense incurred by the teacher as a result of an on-the-job injury where the teacher has expenses beyond the maximum coverage provided for in any Extended Health Plan for which the teacher is listed as an insured. Such medical items must be as ordered by a duly qualified physician or dentist in Manitoba. The maximum payable shall be $1000 for each incidence of an on-the-job injury.
The purpose of supplemental sick leave is to ensure that a teacher, who is returning to work from a prolonged absence due to accident or illness, has access to a reasonable amount of income protection. The supplemental sick leave is not intended to extend the waiting period for the teacher’s long term disability plan.
A teacher who has 85 days sick leave accrued, may earn up to 20 days of supplemental sick leave, at an accrual rate of 2 days, for each full month of employment beyond when their sick time accrual was 85 days. A teacher shall not earn more than 20 days of sick time and/or supplemental sick time in any one school year.
Teachers employed on a part time basis, who have a contract (form 2 or form 2a) with the Division, shall accrue supplemental sick time pro-rated, based on full time equivalents.
Supplemental sick leave shall only be used to replenish a portion of a teacher’s sick time, upon their return to work from a sick leave. Supplemental sick leave can not be used in combination with sick leave for any one absence from work due to accident or illness, or any subsequent absence for the same, or related, accident or illness. Supplemental sick leave may not be used to extend, or bridge, the waiting period of the teacher’s long term disability plan.
Each teacher shall be entitled to use up to five (5) days of sick leave per school year to attend to the illness, injury or medical appointments of his or her immediate family including the spouse, children or parents of the teacher or spouse.
Use of sick leave beyond the time and for persons other than provided for herein may be granted at the discretion of the Superintendent.
Every female teacher shall be entitled to maternity leave and every teacher shall be entitled to parental leave in accordance with this article.
Except as otherwise provided herein the Manitoba Employment Standards Code will apply.
The teacher and the Division shall mutually agree to extend the length of leave if the teacher so desires. Any such arrangement shall be confirmed in writing by the Division.
Effective July 1, 2015. A teacher taking maternity leave and/or parental leave pursuant to this article shall be entitled to receive pay equivalent to ninety percent (90%) of the teacher’s gross salary at the time the leave commenced plus any subsequently negotiated salary adjustments for up to one hundred and thirty-five (135) teaching days, which pay will include any employment insurance benefits received in accordance with this article.
Effective July 1, 2015, the Division shall pay a teacher on maternity leave and/or parental leave:
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 or parental 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 payment made by the Division 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 maternity leave benefits.
The 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 Division.
Each teacher shall be allowed compassionate leave without loss of salary in the case of death or serious illness of any member of the family of the teacher, whether the family member is natural, step or foster, as follows:
Leave without loss of salary beyond the time and for persons other than provided for herein may be granted at the discretion of the Superintendent.
Every teacher is entitled to compassionate care leave up to 8 weeks to provide care or support to a seriously ill family member as defined in the Employment Standards Code.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Manitoba Employment Standards Code (MESC) will apply.
At the end of an employee’s leave, the Division shall reinstate the employee to the position the employee occupied when the leave began, if available, or a comparable position.
Each teacher, upon authorization of the Superintendent, or designate will be allowed 2 days of absence per school year for personal reasons with no loss of salary.
The Manitoba Teacher& Society membership fees shall be deducted from every teacher. These deductions will be made in ten equal monthly instalments, starting with the September cheque, in accordance with the current scale of fees and shall be remitted monthly to the M.T.S. office.
Local Association fees, as determined by the Local Association Executive, shall be deducted in ten equal monthly instalments from September to June, beginning September 2011. Teachers employed on a part-time basis shall be deducted the rate based on the fraction of time employed. Fees for term teachers shall be deducted for the months they are employed.
The Short Term Disability plan shall be administered in accordance with the Letter of Understanding that is part of this agreement.
The Board of trustees may grant a leave of absence to any teacher for the purpose of further study or professional development for such a period of time as the Board may approve.
The minimum grant for one year of sabbatical leave shall be $7,650. The Board retains the right to provide an additional allowance over the minimum grant, such amount to be determined by negotiation between the Board and the candidate chosen.
Applications for sabbatical leave must be submitted to the Superintendent no later than February 28 of the school year previous to the one for which leave is requested. Final decision of the application will be made by the Board no later than April 15.
Other terms and conditions of the leave in respect to future service commitments or repayment in lieu of default of future service commitment and terms deemed necessary will be incorporated in the individual contract made with the candidate at the time of granting said leave.
Where a complaint is made to a school board respecting the competency or character of a teacher, the school board shall not terminate its agreement with the teacher unless it has followed the process as outlined below and has provided him/her an opportunity to appear personally or by representation before the school board to answer the complaint.
In the interest of handling all complaints fairly and expeditiously, the following guidelines are recommended:
The Division administration, Board of Trustees or committee of the Board will not consider or act upon complaints until the complaint has been explored at the appropriate level as outlined below.
Except in situations which are governed by legislation (e.g. Child and Family Services Act), the complainant will be advised to first contact the person most directly involved.
Complaints against a teacher or an administrator should proceed according to the following steps:
The Complainant first meets with the person against whom he/she is complaining. If satisfaction is not obtained at that level, the complainant should meet with the person in question along with the immediate supervisor, in an attempt to resolve the issue.
Complainant meets with:
Written complaints about teachers or administrators shall utilize the following procedures:
No documents pertaining to a complaint will be entered into the personnel file of a teacher or administrator when it is concluded that such complaint was unfounded.
When documentation is entered into a personnel file, the teacher or administrator shall be advised, in writing, and shall be provided an opportunity to enter a written response.
Where a difference arises between the parties to or the persons bound by this agreement or on whose behalf it was entered into concerning its content, meaning, application, or violation, either party shall, within 35 teaching days of the event giving rise to the violation or difference, or within 35 teaching days from the date on which the griever became aware of the event giving rise to the violation or difference, notify the other party in writing, stating the violation or difference and the solutions sought.
Any difference between the parties to, or persons bound by the agreement or on whose behalf it was entered into concerning its content meaning, application or violation, which is not settled to the satisfaction of the parties within ten teaching days from the date when the Association takes the matter up with the Division or the Division notifies the Association in writing of its desire to have the difference negotiated shall, upon the written request of either party, be submitted to an Arbitration Board consisting of three members. Each of the parties to the dispute shall, within seven 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 days after their appointment, shall meet and select a chairman. Should the two arbitrators fail to agree upon a chairman within the required seven days, either party may request the Manitoba Labour Board to appoint a chairman. Except as herein provided the Labour Relations Act shall apply.
Where a party to this Collective Agreement submits a dispute under the Collective Agreement to an Arbitration Board as aforesaid, notwithstanding the time limits herein before set forth, the parties shall proceed with the appointment of the Arbitration Board and, if the Arbitration Board is satisfied that the irregularity with respect to the time limit has not prejudiced the parties to the arbitration and will not affect the merits of the matter submitted to the Arbitration Board, it may, on its own initiative or on application of any party to the arbitration, declare that the irregularity does not affect the validity of the decision or award of the Arbitration Board; and the declaration is binding on the parties to the arbitration and on any person affected by the decision or award of the Arbitration Board.
Nothing herein shall prohibit the parties from agreeing on a single arbitrator. If the parties so agree, the provisions of this Article relating to an Arbitration Board shall apply mutatis mutandis to the single arbitrator.
Commencing with the 1st day of the 2008/2009 school year, over the course of a school’s instructional cycle, every full time teacher shall have the equivalent of the minimum of 40 minutes per day of preparation time, exclusive of recess. It shall not be allocated in blocks smaller than 30 minutes.
Part-time teachers shall be provided preparation time on a pro rata basis based on their percentage of contract.
When it is determined by the Board that a lay-off is necessary and where natural attrition, transfers, sabbaticals and leaves of absence do not affect the necessary reduction in staff, the Board shall develop a seniority list as hereinafter provided. Such a list shall contain the names of those tenured teachers having the least seniority identified in sufficient numbers to enable the Board to lay-off the required number of teachers after taking into account the special subject, program and administrative needs of the Board. The Association and the teacher shall be permitted a period of ten teaching days after posting of such list to protest in writing to the Board any alleged omission or incorrect listing, but such protest shall be confined to errors in or changes occurring since the posting of the last seniority list.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have the right to disregard the length of service of any teacher in the event of a lay-off, if such teacher does not have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience for a specific teaching assignment.
In the event of a lay-off, the Board shall meet with the Executive of the Association to discuss the implications of the lay-offs and shall provide the Association with a list of teachers to be laid off.
Notice of lay-off and a copy of this article shall be given to the teacher by registered mail no later than the first day of May of any school year. The teacher, within ten teaching days of receiving notice of lay-off, shall indicate in writing of his/her wish to be placed on the re-employment list. Notwithstanding anything else in this article, failure to respond within the time limit specified in this paragraph shall relieve the onus on the Division for that teacher's placement on the re-employment list and the teacher shall lose seniority.
If after lay-offs have occurred, and for a period of one calendar year after the 30th day of September following the date of lay-off, teachers who have been laid off and have given notice by registered mail under Article 16.05 above shall be offered the position first as it becomes available when positions become vacant provided such teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience for the positions available. Length of teaching service with the Board will be used to determine the order in which the laid-off teachers are offered the available positions provided that said teachers have the necessary training, academic qualifications and experience.
It shall be the responsibility of the teacher to report an address to which a recall notice can be delivered. Recall notices will be delivered by registered mail to the last reported address given by the teacher and a teacher who is recalled from lay-off shall be required to indicate, notwithstanding any other time limits in this policy, within 15 teaching days of the registered letter being sent, his/her intent to return to work and shall be required to return to work on the date set out in the notice which date shall not be less than one month's calendar days following such notification, unless by written mutual agreement. Failure to respond within the time limits specified or agreed to shall relieve the onus on the Division for that teacher's placement on the re-employment list and he/she shall lose seniority.
A teacher will retain and accrue seniority if absent from work because of:
A teacher shall retain but not accrue seniority if the teacher is:
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a teacher shall lose seniority and the rights to further consideration for employment for any of the following reasons:
A teacher who has lost seniority as a result of the application of this article shall be notified as soon as possible that his/her teaching contract has been terminated.
If the Board terminates the contract of a teacher because that teacher is surplus, the Board shall, at the request of the teacher, provide him/her with a letter to this effect.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this article, the lay-off provisions shall not apply to teachers who are not tenured or to teachers employed on a fixed term contract where during that term the teacher is employed on the express written understanding that such teacher will not, after the completion of such term, be employed by the Division.
Tenure means the status of a teacher as defined in Sections 92 (5) and 92 (6) of the Public Schools Act, who is continuously employed by one School Board for more than one full school year or who was employed by one other School Board in the Province for more than one full school year within 3 years prior thereto.
Teachers employed under contract on a part-time basis shall be paid a rate based on the fraction of time employed.
Part-time teachers shall be eligible to participate in any employee benefit if such plan allows part-time teachers access to such a benefit plan.
Part-time teachers shall participate in school activities during the regular school day when requested by the employer. Part-time teachers shall receive 1/200 or portion thereof for time spent over and above their regularly scheduled teaching time during the school day. At the Superintendent's discretion, time in lieu of compensation may be given.
The school activities, when occurring during the regular school day, eligible for payment under this Article are:
A teacher who has been employed full-time or part-time in the Division under a Limited General contract for two successive years, shall on employment for the third consecutive school year, be signed to a Teacher-General contract and be entitled retroactively, to seniority and sick leave for the previous successive entire school years of employment. An entire school year means employment for 180 or more school days in the contract year, pro-rated for part-time teachers.
The imposition of discipline without just cause by the Division or any agent thereof with or without pay shall be subject to the following provisions:
Except in cases of emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, every full- time teacher shall be entitled to an uninterrupted meal period between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each school day:
Teacher participation in extra-curricular activities shall be voluntary.
The Division shall post notification of teacher attrition created before March 31st in the schools. Should that attrition create a vacancy, teachers that have not submitted a transfer request will be required to apply stating their interest in a reassignment to that school.
If the parties are unable to agree on the terms of a renewed or revised collective agreement or a new collective agreement, either party may – after a period of at least 90 days has elapsed since notice was given to commence collective bargaining under Section 60 or 61 of The Labour Relations Act – notify the other in writing of its desire to submit the matters remaining in dispute to arbitration. The matters in dispute must then be submitted to arbitration in accordance with this section.
If the parties agree to refer the matters to a single arbitrator, they shall appoint an arbitrator to hear and determine the matters and make an award.
If the parties can not agree to appoint a single arbitrator, they shall take steps to establish an arbitration board to hear and determine the matters and issue an award.
The party that gives the notice under 26.01 shall include in the notice a statement of the matters in dispute being referred to arbitration. The other party may also provide the initiating party with a statement in writing of the matters it considers to be in dispute.
A statement referred to in 26.04 may be amended at any time before the arbitrator or arbitration board begins hearings, but new items may not be added unless bargaining has taken place respecting them.
After hearings begin, neither of the parties may add further items to the statement of matters in dispute, but a party may modify or withdraw any items during the course of the hearings.
Part VII of The Labour Relations Act applies, with necessary changes, to the arbitration of collective bargaining disputes between the parties.
The Division shall maintain a Respectful Workplace Policy which is congruent to provincial workplace safety and health legislation and regulations.
Members covered by this agreement will be reimbursed for the use of their personal vehicle, at the provincial rate for mileage necessarily incurred on School Division business, when requested by the employer, or its agents.
Every teacher shall be entitled to a fair and reasonable evaluation.
The Board shall post in each school, Division Office, and on the Divisional Website a notice of each new position and each vacancy to be filled by teachers/administrators who would come under this agreement at least 5 days before the position or vacancy is to be filled.

LETTER OF AGREEMENT — MULTI GRADE ALLOWANCE
between
The Seine River School Division
and
The Seine River Teachers' Association
of the
Manitoba Teachers' Society
RE: SECTION 4.06 OF THE COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT, MULTI GRADE ALLOWANCES
As per Collective Agreement signed by the respective parties dated June 28, 2021, an agreement was made to provide an allowance for each teacher who has a multi-grade classroom as follows:
100% of the time 737.59 as of September, 2021
75% of the time 551.80 as of September, 2021
50% of the time 371.58 as of September, 2021
25% of the time 185.81 as of September, 2021
Administratively, challenges arise in the calculation of wages for teachers who have multi grade responsibilities and are less than 1.0 FTE. For that reason, Seine River School Division, the Seine River Teacher's Association and the Manitoba Teachers Society agree to a one time adjustment for the purpose of simplifying payroll calculations. Adjusted rates will be as follows:
100% of the time 744.00
75% of the time 558.00
50% of the time 372.00
25% of the time 186.00
Note that no retroactive pay will be applied and this adjustment is agreed to without prejudice.
