LONG TERM OCCASIONAL ASSIGNMENTS. 15.01 When a teacher under probationary or permanent contract with the Board is pre- scheduled to be absent from teaching duty and the Board decides to replace the contract teacher with a Long-term Occasional Teacher, and the Board has two (2) weeks notice prior to the beginning of the assignment, the Board shall post the position on a bulletin board in each school. A copy of such postings shall be mailed to the Association and the Local Executive, with a copy to the Eastern Ontario Unit of OECTA. The final selection will be based on the applicant who is the most qualified and suitable for the position.
15.02 Each Long-term Occasional Teacher shall receive a letter of appointment from the Board, with a copy to the Association, specifying the name of the statutory teacher being replaced, the duration and salary, and the posting number. As outlined in Articles 16 and 18, a true copy of such letter shall be rendered to the Occasional Teacher. Failure by the Board to render such letter does not remove the Occasional Teacher’s rights under 1.04 (Appendix “A”).
15.03 Each Long-term Occasional Teacher shall be assigned only the regularly scheduled supervision duties, personal professional development days and work load of the Teacher being substituted.
15.04 In determining whether to grant a Long-term Occasional Contract of Employment, the Board shall not regard Professional Development or Activity days which are not worked, Board recognized holidays including statutory holidays, Ministry recognized grant days (snow days), early school closing days, or leave for Association business as breaking the consecutiveness of days involved.
15.05 In the event that the Long-term Occasional Teacher’s Contract of Employment is to be terminated prior to the original termination date, the Long-term Occasional Teacher shall be given five (5) teaching days notice or five (5) days pay in lieu of notice.
LONG TERM OCCASIONAL ASSIGNMENTS. The Board shall endeavour to provide a list of known Long Term Occasional positions on a monthly basis to the President of the Union. Before filling any Long Term Occasional assignments, the Board shall advertise such assignment on the Board’s enterprise portal. Prior to external hiring and depending on the limitations of qualifications, the Board shall make every reasonable effort to hire a teacher from the Occasional Teacher List to fill any vacancy arising owing to the death of a teacher during the school year. Prior to external hiring for Long Term Occasional Teacher positions, and depending on qualifications and ability, the Board shall make every reasonable effort to hire Long Term Occasional Teachers from the list of Short Term Occasional Teachers who have indicated that they are willing to do a Long Term Occasional assignment.
LONG TERM OCCASIONAL ASSIGNMENTS. 15.01 The Association recognizes the right of the Board to assign the teachers it considers suitable for long-term assignments based on the qualifications and experience of the teachers, the grade and/or subjects to be taught, and other factors reasonable for the particular assignment. Therefore, when the Board decides to assign an Occasional Teacher to a long-term assignment, it shall do as follows:
(a) For predetermined posted long-term assignments of forty (40) working days or less, assignments shall be made by seniority, first from the “A” list, then from the “B” list (if the position cannot be filled from the “A” list), provided the senior applicant has the qualifications for the position.
(b) (i) For predetermined posted long term assignments over forty (40) days, the Human Resources Department shall select the five (5) most senior applicants who meet the criteria set out in Article 15.01. The five (5) names shall be submitted to the Principal of the school to which the position applies. The Principal shall select the person for the assignment from those referred.
LONG TERM OCCASIONAL ASSIGNMENTS. When hiring for Long Term Occasional assignments the Board shall give first consideration to applications received from members of the bargaining unit. The Principals will follow the Board’s hiring criteria when reviewing applications, qualifications, conducting interviews and completing reference checks for candidates being considered. It is understood that full-time Occasional Teachers who have already accepted long term assignments for some or all of the period covered by the posted assignment are not eligible to be considered for the position unless the Executive Officer of Human Resources has given prior approval that they may be considered for the position. It is also understood that any Long Term Occasional Teacher may terminate their contract to accept a probationary contract. When hiring for permanent vacancies the Board shall give first consideration to applications received from members of the bargaining unit.
