4) Grid Pay for LTOs - Check Your Paystub-
Grid salary requires documentation of qualifications (QECO rating) and documentation proving previous post-certification teaching experience outside of TVDSB. This includes daily experience anywhere in Canada and international experience.
To show the evaluation of their qualifications, the LTO must provide the Board with a QECO Rating Statement or a card indicating their rating is in progress, prior to July 31st for retroactive adjustment.  Note that the process can take several weeks.

1) To obtain a QECO Rating, follow the instructions at www.qeco.on.ca or call QECO at 1-800-385-1030 and request an application form.

2) Once received, submit the results to TVDSB Staffing Officer, Jessica Grison Roeder - j.grisonroeder@tvdsb.ca before the July 31st deadline or forward a copy of the green QECO confirmation card if the application is in progress but will not be available by the due date.

N.B. The same July 31st deadline applies to proof of any post-certification teaching experience, outside of TVDSB. Recognized teaching experience is outlined in Article L7.08 of the Collective Agreement.
