Did you know that:- your OCT annual membership fee of $200 must be paid no later than April 17th. Those who were in a LTO assignment at the beginning of January have had their fee remitted by TVDSB as noted on your paystub. N.B. Those who are late will be charged an additional penalty of $130.
- Teachers (includes LTOs and daily OTs) who are charged with a criminal offence (excluding most offences under the Highway Traffic Act), must report these charges and any restrictions to OCT on a form which is available at www.oct.ca/members/forms under Member Reporting Obligations. There is no such obligation to report a charge to the employer. ____________
The Bill 124 remedy will be applied to all ETFO salary grids and wages, including daily and LTO Occasional Teacher rates, retroactive to the 2019-2020 school year. The result will be a lump sum payment plus a permanent increase to income, both of which are pensionable and will be subject to the usual deductions by the Employer. This includes income tax.
Please be aware that the salary increase negotiated in this last round by Provincial ETFO will be separate - that amount will not be known until the end of arbitration which is now scheduled to begin in mid-April of this year.
TVDSB Occasional Teachers will be paid the following daily rate for the period from September 1, 2019 - August 31, 2020 per the remedy:
- $243.15 (shown on pay stub as $233.80 + $9.35 vacation pay of 4% on separate line)
TVDSB Occasional Teachers will be paid the following daily rate for the period from September 1, 2020 - August 31, 2021 per the remedy:- $247.41 (shown on pay stub as $237.90 + $9.51 vacation pay of 4% on separate line)
TVDSB Occasional Teachers will be paid the following daily rate for the period from September 1, 2021 - August 31, 2022 per the remedy:- $256.69 (shown on pay stub as $246.82 + $9.87 vacation pay of 4% on separate line)
If you were in a LTO during those school years, your per diem is 1/194 of the salary grid below, recognizing that part-time FTE assignments must be pro-rated and that approved sick leave exceeding 11 days was paid at 90 per cent salary. This salary grid does include the 4% vacation pay:

No daily Occasional Teacher will be paid for less than a half day, as provided by Article L7.03.
Protect your
home from basement flooding
After a cold
winter, the springtime is a welcome change. But with the longer days and warmer
weather comes new challenges. The potential for flooding increases as the snow
melts and heavy rain falls. Canadians are experiencing more floods than ever
before. According to the Government of Canada, flooding has increased 300%
since the 1960s. But many homeowners haven't taken the proper steps to protect
themselves or their properties. No matter what area you live in, flooding can
happen to you. Don't wait for the water – take these proactive steps to
minimize your risk of a flood damaging your home.
