It's In Your Collective Agreement -
- No first duty for daily OTs on the first day of an assignment or first afternoon if it is an afternoon assignment, because we need that time to prepare. (Article L18.03), so advise the Office that your Union will not allow you to accept that duty in violation of your Agreement.
- Daily OTs follow the timetable of the Teacher they are replacing (Article L18.02), including that Teacher's supervision duties and their prep periods.
- For the sake of continuity, daily OTs should leave a report at the end of the day to assist the returning permanent Teacher. (Article L18.01 (b).
