  3. Regulation Changes & Sick Bank Liability

  4. Benefit Enhancements Subsequent to July 2012 • Negotiations with other bargaining units, subsequent to the signing of the July 2012 OECTA Memorandum of Understanding(MOU), lead to the implementation of, or enhancement to the following employee benefits: • Sick leave/Short-term Sick leave and Disability Plan • Maternity leave benefits • Graduated Return to work • Attendance Recognition • Non-vested retirement gratuities • Years of service eligibility for retirement gratuities Other changes • Voluntary unpaid leave of absence • Unpaid days

  5. Sick leave/Short-Term Sick-Leave Disability Plan • Employees receive 11 sick days per year paid at 100% salary which may be used for personal illness or for purposes as defined in the 2008-2012 collective agreement. • They receive 120 days short term leave and disability days paid at 90% or 66 2/3% (66 2/3% may apply to some school board employee groups). These are to be used for personal illnesses only. • Any of the unused 11 sick days may be carried forward to the following year only and can be used to top-up illnesses paid at 90% salary to 100% salary in that year. • All unused sick days from the previous fiscal year expire at the end of the current fiscal year and a new sick bank is established with unused sick days from the current year. • Any miscellaneous leave days that are charged to sick leave days and provided to employees as per the 2008-2012 collective agreement (maximum of 5 days are allowed) are never accumulated and expire at the end of each fiscal year.

  6. Short-term Sick Leave Plans • 120 Short-term Sick leave and Top-up days are paid at 90% without 3rd party adjudication, but still subject to boards’ internal review processes, for the following bargaining and non- bargaining units: OSSTF, ETFO, AEFO and principals and vice-principals. • OECTA bargaining group has the option to elect the original plan as negotiated in the July 2012 OECTA MOU (which requires 3rd party adjudication), or the plan as negotiated in the April 2013 OSSTF MOU (as above). • CUPE’s plan differs slightly in that it initially offers 66 2/3% salary, but where medical evidence or documentation exists, the employee is upgraded to 90% salary. • School boards will select the OSSTF or OECTA sick leave plan for their non-bargaining units (excluding principals and vice-principals). A board could therefore have more than one type of sick leave plan. • For CESS (Support Staff unions), APSSP and Dufferin-Peel Education Resource Worker’s Association, where an English Catholic board has two sick leave plans, the bargaining unit may choose between the OSSTF and OECTA sick plan model. Where a Catholic board has only one plan, these bargaining units will have the same plan.

  7. Short-term Sick Leave and Graduated Return to Work Top-up Short-term Sick Leave top-up • 1 sick bank day will provide top-up to 100% salary for 10 STLDP days paid at 90%. • Top-up days used are divisible (ie. if an employee works a 0.5 day, the remaining 0.5 day is paid at 90% and a 0.05 banked day (10% x 0.5 day) may be used to top-up to 100%. • For 2012-13, two days are provided for top-up as a transition to the new plan. If any of the two days have not been used by they end of the 2012-13 fiscal year, they cannot be accumulated and carried forward into 2013-14. Graduated Return to Work • For graduated return to work, an employee may use their 11 sick days and their 120 STLDP days to top-up their salary to 100% or 90% for the portion of the day not worked (the 11 sick days and 120 STLDP are divisible for top-up). • Payments under WSIB or LTD for the graduated return to work program should be considered first when determining the sick days needed to top-up to 100% or 90% salary.

  8. WSIB – School Board Top-Up WSIB (regulation under PSFA) • WSIB top-up shall be paid for a maximum of 4 ½ years and shall not be deducted from sick leave. • Only those employees who were entitled to top-up their WSIB benefits under their 2008-2012 collective agreement using their accumulated sick leave credits can qualify for this top-up. • For employees who were receiving WSIB benefits on the first work day of 2012-13, 4 ½ years top-up shall be reduced by the length of time that the employee received WSIB benefits prior to September 1, 2012 relating to the same accident. • Employees who were receiving WSIB benefits as of August 31, 2012 and continue to receive them in 2012-13 but no longer had sick leave credits as of August 31, 2012 are not entitled to receive top-up

  9. Short-term Sick Leave – LTOs, Eligibility Long-term Occasional • LTOs on a full year assignment receive 11 sick days at 100% and 60 STLDP days at 90%. Depending on the sick plan model (ie. CUPE, OECTA July 2012) some LTOs can receive 66 2/3% pay for their STDLP days and may qualify for 90% pay if their illness/injury meet the terms and conditions of their specific plan. • LTOs on less than a full year assignment receive 11 sick days and 60 STLDP reduced/prorated to reflect the length of the assignment relative to a full working year. Expanded Eligibility for sick leave plan • The new sick leave plan includes all employees who accumulated sick leave credits under the old sick leave plan and also includes some employees who previously did not accumulate sick credits: • ETFO and OSSTF employees who are employed for more than 24 hrs per week • All permanent employees, other than casual employees, who are part of CUPE (i.e. lunch room supervisors).

  10. Short-term Sick Leave – Other Provisions • The new sick leave plan also contains provisions addressing: • Application of sick days in instances of absences on the first day of the year • Employees, who are represented by a bargaining unit other than a teacher’s bargaining unit (with the exception of ETFO), may be eligible for additional sick leave credits in a fiscal year, if • under the previous collective agreement they had LTD plans with wait periods exceeding 131 days and, • they do not have the option of reducing their wait period • Sick leave credits for part time employees • Sick leave entitlements for employees who begin work part way through the year • Discretionary compassionate leave top up not exceeding 2 days

  11. Maternity Benefits • Most employees on maternity leave are eligible for a minimum of 8 weeks of maternity benefits topped up to 100% salary through a Supplemental Employment Benefit Plan. • Where a board’s existing maternity benefits plan is superior to the 8 weeks at 100%, the existing plan may be meshed such that 6 weeks are paid at 100% and the remaining benefits under the superior plan are paid. • For CUPE employees (specifically seasonal employees), they may receive additional sick leave credits but only if within six weeks after the birth of a child, the employee is eligible for EI.

  12. VLAP and Attendance Recognition • Voluntary leave of absence (VLAP) • Employees may apply for up to 5 unpaid leave of absence days for personal reasons for 2013-14 • These days must be scheduled in advance prior to September 15, 2013 and be made in writing • Includes: ETFO, OSSTF, CESS, AEFO, OECTA, CUPE, APSSP, Educations Assistants Associations • Excludes: Principals and Vice-Principals, non-bargaining • Attendance Recognition • Only in effect for 2013-14 school year • For participating bargaining units, if an employee has taken one unpaid day (voluntary or mandatory) and has used less than 6 sick days, then the member shall receive payment for one day equivalent to his/her daily rate • Also applies to LTOs • Includes: ETFO, OSSTF, OECTA, CESS, APSSP, EA Associations • Excludes: Principals and Vice-Principals, non-bargaining, CUPE

  13. Implementation of Labour Enhancements Ontario regulation 1/13 (sick leave regulation) was updated in June 2013 for the following: • Includes changes made to the sick leave plan since the July 2012 OECTA MOU, AEFO, APSSP MOUs and the December 2012 CUPE MOU • Updated to allow OECTA the option to choose a sick leave plan and school boards to choose a sick leave plan for their non-bargaining units • Includes the MOUs or agreements made with OSSTF, ETFO and Principals and Vice-Principals • Includes enhancements to the LTOs sick leave plan to change from 10 sick days to 11 and to improve STDLP for employees with terms of less than a year • Includes new provisions: attendance recognition and graduated return to work programs • Updated non-vested retirement gratuities payout formula from $0.10 to up to $0.25 payout • Updated to expand eligibility of sick leave plan to additional employee groups • Includes additional boards with change in eligibility threshold

  14. Implementation of Labour Enhancements Ontario Regulation 2/13 made under the Putting Students First Act, 2012, addressed certain other provisions. PSFA was repealed early this year and boards will therefore need to implement through their collective bargaining process the following: • Changes to maternity benefits from 6 weeks to 8 weeks at 100% pay • Voluntary leave of absence program • Changes relating to unpaid days

  15. Additional Funding • Due to the recent labour enhancements, the Province has announced the following additional funding to help school boards implement the 2012-14 labour framework: • $10 million to help implement sick leave benefit plan reforms • $30 million per year beginning 2012-13 for a potential increase in supply teacher costs • One-time funding for sick leave top-up banks reported as of August 31, 2013 • One-time funding for non-vested retirement gratuities and retirement gratuities years of service threshold • $15 million for payroll system and training support • $60 million to address the residual costs of unpaid days, and $3 million to extend the sick leave eligibility to a wider group of employees • $10 million representing efficiencies in professional development that will account for 16% of the total cost of October 11, 2013 unpaid day

  16. Future Funding Consideration • Maternity leave – additional support under consideration to reflect increase from 6 weeks to 8 weeks of maternity benefits • Attendance Recognition – additional support in 2013-14 to cover any incremental costs related to eligible staff that use less then 6 sick days • The above funding, as well as some presented in the previous slide will be conditional upon boards meeting the requirements in the Deputy’s memorandum issued August 20, 2013. • Confirm by August 29, 2013 through e-mail to ministry agreement in principle to append MOU to Collective agreement • Statement of attestation and board resolution - September 30, 2013 • Copy of local CA with appended MOU by October 31, 2013

  17. Determination of Sick Bank Liability • Boards will have a sick bank liability to report at the end of each school year representing the expected usage of sick days for those with banked days. • Memorandum 2013:SB 23 issued. A 2012-13 actuarial evaluation of the sick bank liability will be required from boards. • Boards will be provided with a one time funding for the sick bank based on the liability reported in the actuarial report. • A template will be filled out based on information provided by the boards and actuaries calculating the sick bank liability. • The liability will be calculated using the number of employees with banked days, the average daily salary and the sick day usage factor.

  18. Sick Bank Liability Calculation • The sick day usage factor is calculated using the following: • Based on historical sick leave data of 2011-12 and 2012-13: (1) Actuaries will determine what percentage of employees with banked days will use those days in the following year (e.g. of the employees with banked days, 10% will use them in the following year for top-up) (2) Actuaries will estimate, for the group of employees who are expected to use their sick bank in the following year, the average number of banked sick days they will use (e.g. for those employees who use their sick bank for top-up, they will use an average of 1.0 day) • For example: if there are 1000 employees with banked days, 100 employees are expected to use these days in the following year, and the 100 employees are expected to use on average 1.0 day in the following year • Based on these two factors, the sick day usage factor is 0.1 days (10% x 1.0 days).

  19. Sick Bank Liability Calculation • This factor is then applied to all employees with banked days and the average daily salary of this employee group is applied. • For example: Based on the number of employees with banked days and the sick leave usage factor, it is expected that 100 days will be used in the following year for top-up (1000 employees x 0.1 days). If the average daily salary of the group is $400, then the liability will be $40K (100 days * $400). • At the end of each year, a new liability is determined based on the number of employees with banked days and any remaining liability from the previous year is reversed. • Boards will be able to use the template in the following years to help calculate their liability without having to obtain an actuarial valuation. • Boards may choose to have their actuaries in the following years update the factors used in determining the sick leave usage factor based on more updated information.
