Being Paid on Grid; Summer Academy Registration; ETFO AQ Courses; Infectious Disease Emergency Leave

 

Don't Miss this Deadline to be Paid Appropriately!

Whether you are in a posted LTO or a position that has evolved after replacing the same Teacher in the same assignment, in TVDSB you are entitled to be paid according to your QECO rating and previous post-certification teaching experience. The onus is on you however, to ensure that these documents are submitted to HR prior to July 31st for retroactive adjustment for any long-term assignments that took place that school year.

Please be aware that the QECO application process can take several weeks. Click QECO and follow the instructions or call them at 1-800-385-1030 to request a form. Submit the results to TVDSB Staffing Officer Jessica Grison-Roeder before the end of July or forward a copy of the QECO confirmation card to show that your application is in progress.
