News in light of Covid-19
- the Local OT Office is now being monitored remotely so please contact us at etfotvot@gmail.com for assistance
- Teachers, Occasional Teachers/LTOs cannot enter TVDSB buildings and have been advised not to post lessons online - future direction is expected from the Ministry and the Board
- TVDSB has undertaken to pay LTOs during the 2 week closure per their contract
- TVDSB will pay daily OTs based on the average number of days worked in the 8 weeks before March Break (NB neither Teachers nor LTOs are paid for March Break) for the school closure up to April 5th, 2020.
- TVDSB has not agreed to pay daily OTs past April 5th so we recommend members look into Employment Insurance assistance.
- Occasional Teachers who are retired and collecting a pension may wish to contact the Board to waive the payments if this averaging would cause them to exceed the OTPP re-employment limits
Now is the time to listen to the advice of experts - do what you must to keep yourself and those around you, safe and healthy!
