We are continuing to have problems with inclement weather issues and supply teachers.
Below are 2 associated Articles from our contract that should clear things up for you:
14.02 Inclement Weather
(a) All daily occasional teacher assignments will be cancelled in the zones where buses are cancelled due to inclement weather. All occasional teachers are expected to check the media outlets regarding bus cancellations. Daily occasional teachers will not be paid for the day if assignments are cancelled due to inclement weather. Principals may call in an occasional teacher for individual programs if necessary.
(a) In the event that a long-term occasional teacher cannot report to work due to extreme weather conditions and has notified the principal of such, on the recommendation of the principal, the long-term occasional teacher may, after the twentieth (20th) day of each assignment, utilize allocated absence credit in order to avoid loss of salary for the day.
(c) An unpaid absence due to extreme weather conditions will not count towards an occasional teacher’s ten-day assignment; however, it will also not interrupt the continuity of the assignment.
AND
15.10 (a) If an assignment is cancelled in SCARRI a minimum of seventy five (75) minutes before the start time, the occasional teacher will not be paid for the assignment. With the exception of inclement weather as stated in (14.02.a), in the event the assignment has not been cancelled in SCARRI with a minimum of seventy five (75) minutes before the start time and upon reporting to the school, the occasional teacher may be offered an alternative teacher/supervision assignment at that location. Upon acceptance the occasional teacher shall be paid for the portion of the day that the assignment entailed, which shall not be less than one-half day.
(b) Notwithstanding 16.10 (a), a casual occasional teacher will not be paid for a day where a school has been closed and such closure has been broadcast by the media.
