L10.08 INCLEMENT WEATHER - A Long-Term Occasional Teacher or a Short-Term Occasional Teacher who is delayed by local weather conditions but arrives at school as soon as possible during the regular school hours of that day will not have a salary deduction made. "Local" means within the geographic area between the Occasional Teacher's home address and the school or worksite of said Occasional Teacher.
Your Local reminds you to use your personal judgment wisely to determine if it safe for you to travel to work in inclement weather and to let the school know if you will be delayed or are unable to make the journey that day.
Should the school be closed for an emergency, the Collective Agreement provides:
L16.04 a) In the event of a late opening or early dismissal of a school for emergency reasons, Occasional Teachers shall be paid for the assignment at the applicable rate of pay. b) In the event of a school closure for emergency reasons, a Long-Term Occasional Teacher shall be paid for the assignment at the applicable rate of pay.
And finally, regarding cancellation of an assignment:
L16.05 a) The Board shall give a minimum of two (2) hours notice of cancellation of any pre-arranged assignment. Should cancellation of a pre-arranged assignment occur without two (2) hours notice, the Occasional Teacher shall report for work and the Board shall pay the Occasional Teacher for that assignment in accordance with the provisions of Articles L16.01 or L16.02, whichever is applicable. b) In the event of inclement weather, Occasional Teachers will receive information on the status of school closures or delays in openings by the normal Board communication process. Notice of closure due to inclement weather will be deemed to meet the minimum notice requirement of Article L16.05 (a). c) An Occasional Teacher who cancels a previously accepted assignment may not accept another assignment scheduled for that same day.
