AT-COST PERSONAL DAYS

18.03.05 
At Cost Personal Leave 
Subject to adequate notice to the Principal and the arrangement of coverage, the Bargaining Unit Member shall be granted an At Cost Personal Day restricted to a maximum of five (5) per year. The timing of such days will avoid extending existing vacation periods. The cost for such a day will be the minimum cost of a qualified occasional teacher (not to exceed 1/194 of Group 3, Year 0) whether the member has been replaced not. The cost to the member for such a day will not exceed 1/194 of the member's annual salary. There will be no deduction from sick leave, and no impact upon pension subject to current Teacher Pension Plan regulations. On any given day no more than three such leaves will be granted at any one site. The application of this clause will not result in on-calls being assigned to members.

HOW TO REQUEST A LEAVE OF ABSENCE

The BWDSB has a new procedure for applying for a leave or retirement: the Employee Information & Leaves Form (EIL).  Members can use this when requesting an unpaid leave or at-cost days; HR will complete the form on your behalf if you require a medical leave. 
  1. Please visit https://eil.bwdsb.on.ca/ 
  2. Log in using your 4+3 BWDSB login and password. 
  3. From the “New Request” dropdown menu, select the applicable form (Long Term Leave, Retirement, or Resignation).
  4. Online help is available by selecting “Click here for help” at the top of the form.

MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE

If you require a medical leave of absence on the advice of your doctor, you will need to have your doctor complete the BWDSB Functional Abilities Form (FAF), which can be found below.  

​It is vital that members print and take the FAF to their doctor, and that the doctor completes this form in full (in place of a doctor's note). If you get a written note from your doctor, the Board will send you this form and you will have to make another appointment to have it completed.

Your doctor should not provide a diagnosis, but should use the FAF to indicate abilities and limitations.

Please submit the completed form to your administrator. You do not have to apply for a medical leave through the EIL; this will be done on your behalf by HR after they receive your completed FAF.

​You can expect to be contacted by Kathy Eccles, Human Resources Officer, regarding a medical leave. 

PREGNANCY, PARENTAL, OR ADOPTION LEAVE

If you are looking for information on pregnancy or parental leaves, including extended parental leaves and adoption leaves, download the attached document. This FAQ document is based on information found in the TBU collective agreement. 

​Provincial OSSTF has also provided a document with more generic advice about pregnancy and parental leaves.
