Attention: Occasional Teachers

If you completed your WHIMIS Training then you are entitled to a payment of $25 since you had to do it on your own time. The HWDSB should have paid you the $25 on your Nov. 15th pay stub (if you taught during the month of October).

If you did not teach in the month of October you would have received a separate pay stub indicating the $25 pay. Unfortunately, the Board would have erroneously also deducted the $11 levy for that month even though you did not work. You are entitled to a rebate of the $11 but it must be from the District 21 Office NOT the Board (since the Board has already rebated that money to the District Office). In order to get your rebate you must take your Nov. 15th pay stub to the District Office (1423 Upper Ottawa) and fill out a voucher. The rebate will then be mailed out to you in due time.

Remember, this only applies to those Occasional Teachers who did not work the month of October but received $25 from the Board and were deducted an $11 levy fee for that month.
