Remuneration The Company agrees to pay the Warrant Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Warrant Agent hereunder and shall, pursuant to its obligations under this Agreement, reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Warrant Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.
Remuneration of Directors The directors are entitled to the remuneration for acting as directors, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine. If the directors so decide, the remuneration of the directors, if any, will be determined by the shareholders. That remuneration may be in addition to any salary or other remuneration paid to any officer or employee of the Company as such, who is also a director.
Remuneration and fees In most cases we are paid by commission from the insurer but in some circumstances, we may charge you a fee instead of commission or a combination of both where we arrange policies with a low commission. Where we charge a fee, this will not be liable for insurance premium tax or value added tax (insurance is a VAT exempt industry). All fees will be advised verbally and/or will be included within the Statement of Price document before you incept your policy. We will also make the following administration charges per policy: See Appendix 1 Our commission and fee(s) are earned on placement of your insurance. If you make a change or cancel your policy mid-term (other than in the 14-day Cooling Off period) which results in a return premium, we will retain all fees and any commission to cover our administration and advisory services. Our fees will be clearly shown in any invoice we issue to you, and we will advise you of the amount of any charge before you become liable to paying it. We have arrangements with some insurers to receive additional payments reflecting the size and/or profitability of our account with them and/or in respect of work we undertake on their behalf, and we will advise you where this is the case.
PROFESSIONAL COMPENSATION 8.1 The basic salaries of teachers covered by this Agreement are set forth in Appendix A which is attached to and incorporated into this Agreement. Such salary schedule shall remain in effect for the duration of this Agreement. The rate of salary for teachers employed less than full-time shall be based on the following formula applied to the appropriate salary track and experience level:
A. At the elementary level, the rate shall be determined on the basis of the amount of time assigned to the part-time teacher as a percentage of the total teaching time assigned to a full-time teacher in an equivalent assignment.
B. At the middle school, the rate for each exploratory and elective class assigned to a part-time teacher will be one-fifth (1/5) of the appropriate full-time salary.
C. At the high school, the rate for each class assigned to a part-time teacher will be one-fifth (1/5) of the appropriate full-time salary.
D. If a part-time teacher is assigned to more than one building, the rate of salary shall be determined for each building independently as described above and then added together. Additional compensation shall then be added for travel time between buildings based on the rate applied to the level to which the teacher is primarily assigned. The primary assignment is the level at which the greater percentage of time is assigned to the teacher.
8.2 Rates of pay for extra curricular duties covered by this Agreement are set forth in Appendix B. Teachers shall inform the District at the time they sign their contract the form they choose for their extra curricular stipend payment. The options shall be:
A. Lump sum payment at end of activity.
B. Prorated payment of stipend included in the remainder of their regular bi-weekly paychecks.
8.3 Tax deductions on teacher lump sum payments shall be made according to the available payroll program which provides the closest approximation of normal bi-weekly levels of deductions. Any changes in lump sum tax deduction programs will be discussed with the Association.
8.4 Xxx "XX+00", "XX+00", "XX+00" and "MA+45", in the salary classification refer to semester hours of credit earned subsequent to the time the appropriate degree was conferred. The "Specialist" classification refers to those people who have completed an Educational Specialist Degree, which did not necessarily include the award of a Master's Degree. Effective July 1, 2000, bargaining unit members holding Master’s Degrees from programs requiring forty-five (45) or more credits shall be placed on the salary schedule at MA+15.
8.5 Credit shall be given for a minimum of five (5) years of successful teaching, or equivalent experience in other systems or in other work. However, in order to continue to attract qualified teachers to the Waverly District, at the discretion of the Board, credit may be given for up to ten (10) years. It is understood that this section will not impose any loss or penalty to a teacher previously employed in the Waverly District. Effective July 1, 2000, first year teachers, who have completed an approved teacher preparation program requiring an internship of actual student teaching experience equaling 28 or more weeks of classroom teaching, shall be placed on Step One of the appropriate salary schedule.
8.6 A written statement from the teacher advising that he/she expects to complete eligible courses (as defined below) must be submitted before August 15. An official transcript or a letter of confirmation from the accredited university or college must be submitted to the Administration before October 1 or the salary increase will be deducted in the next check. When a letter of confirmation is used, an official college transcript must follow no later than February 1 of the current school year. If the official college transcript is not submitted to the Personnel Office by February 1, the salary increase will be deducted in equal portions from subsequent checks. In order for such credits to be eligible to be applied to the salary schedule, the course(s) shall meet one or more of the following criteria:
A. Be within the teacher's major or minor field of study.
B. Have a direct relationship to the teaching assignment, the District’s curriculum or educational services, or teaching methods.
C. Be within an approved program leading toward an advanced degree in education or additional certification. A teacher may request approval of a community college course that meets one or more of the above standards. Such approval must be requested from the administrator responsible for the Personnel Office prior to course enrollment. Any alteration to the above standards accomplished with the 2006-2007 Master Agreement shall not cause the salary schedule placement of any bargaining unit member made prior to that date to be decreased because the earlier placement conflicts with the revised standards.
8.7 All teachers of special education and alternative education/job skills shall receive Four Hundred Five Dollars ($405) over the adopted salary schedule. Special Education shall be that as defined by law.
