Benefit Plan for LTOS
The ETFO ELHT benefits plan provides coverage for LTOs in teaching assignment must be 90-consecutive calendar days or longer
- Enrolment in the benefits plan is mandatory for 1.0 teacher in an LTO assignment for 90 consecutive days or longer;
- Benefits coverage will begin on the first day of a known 90+ calendar assignment and coverage will cease upon termination of the assignment; and
- Must be one continuous assignment of at least 90 consecutive calendar days (e.g. a 45-day assignment followed by another 45-day assignment will not constitute eligibility).
- Enrollment information will come from OTIP through your TVDSB email.
Part-time Pro-rated Premiums
Occasional Teachers in eligible LTO assignments where the FTE is less than 1.0 and who voluntarily opt into health and/or dental benefits will be required to pay health and dental premiums on a pro-rated basis (e.g. 0.6 FTE would be required to pay 40% of the monthly premium for health and dental; 0.2 FTE would be required to pay 80%, etc.), retroactive to the first day of the eligible LTO assignment.
Combining Permanent and LTO Contracts
LTO eligibility rules may be combined with contract eligibility rules – for example, where a 0.5 permanent teacher also has a 0.5 LTO teaching assignment of 90 consecutive days or longer, the member may combine eligibility and premium share to receive full benefits coverage with no member contribution for the duration of the LTO assignment. Following the completion of the LTO assignment, should the member voluntarily opt to maintain health and/or dental benefits, the member will be responsible for paying 50% of the premiums for health and dental as required by the eligibility rules for part-time permanent employees.
