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.
