		Employment Insurance Information   OUR LOCAL UNION's CONSTITUTION   June 7, 2007 Casual Occasional teacher daily PAY RATE - These rates apply until a new Collective Agreement is reached. Certified As of Sept. 1, 2010 Basic $210.97 Vacation Pay $8.44 Total $219.41 Non-Certified (Emergency) As of Sept. 1, 2009 $138.00 Note: Casual OTs who continue to work in the same teaching assignment for twelve days or more are paid Grid Rate. Grid Rate is retroactive to the first day of employment in that particular teaching assignment. If you accept an LTO contract, please notify SMART FIND of the dates that you are unavailable for Daily Occasional assignments. This will alleviate the numerous phone calls that you are likely to receive during the period that you are on an LTO contract. LTO Rate is the Elementary Grid based on Category and Experience Sample OT HANDBOOK 2009 2010 This is being implemented in all Upper Grand schools. The style may vary from school to school, but the information should be the same. Please let us know if the Handbook (in some form) is either not being used or not accurate. This is the  Feedback Form  that OTs should be using to leave information for the classroom teacher. OT Performance Appraisal Starting in April 2010, principals will be using this document for OT Performance Appraisal. A sample is posted here in order to give you a "heads up" as to what to expect when your time comes. The Board's plan is to do the appraisal every 5 years like the contract teachers. If you are over your maximum number of days at this point in the year, you will be appraised in September or October of the coming year. OT EXPERIENCE TRACKING SHEET This can be used when you, as an OT, go into a class. It lists the expectations that we have when we arrive at an assignment, and can be sent to the union executive if you have a less than satisfactory experience.
