1. Teachers employed under contract on a part-time basis shall be paid at a prorated rate based on their FTE.

2. Part-timeTeachers shall participate in school activities that occur during the regular School Day when required by the Division, unless there are extenuating circumstances that prevent the Teacher from participating. When the Division makes such requirement, the part-time Teacher shall receive a pro-rata share of their Per Diem for the time spent participating in the activities during the regular School Day which is over and above the Teacher’s regular scheduled teaching time.

3. By mutual agreement between the Teacher and the School Division, time in lieu of compensation

may be given.

4. Part-time Teachers will receive a pro-rated portion of all benefits and leaves for all Articles of the Collective Agreement unless another provision is outlined in a given Article of this Collective Agreement.

6. Part-time Teachers joining a School Division after the start of the School Year will be entitled to a pro-rated share of their annual benefit entitlement. For pro-rated leaves, the School Division shall divide the benefit by the number of School Days in a School Year and calculate what percentage the Teacher would be entitled to based on their FTE and round up to the nearest half (1/2) day.

7. When a Teacher’s FTE changes, their leave accumulation (leaves that are carried over from one (1) School Year to another) shall also change to reflect the change in FTE. The School Division shall consider a “day is a day” meaning that the leave entitlement carried over also changes by either increasing or decreasing. In other words, a Teacher who switches from a 1.0 FTE to a 0.5 FTE shall retain the number of leave days accumulated but the day’s value changes.
