Salary Indemnity Fund

What is it? 
As a member of the VSTA-SIF, after depletion of your sick leave, you may be eligible to a top-up payment of your BCTF salary indemnity which would then equal 65% of your gross salary.

The yearly fees for continuing and associate members are $40 and $45 respectively.  Members who do not pay their fee by December 31 of each year will be charged a $5 reminder fee, and if they are in arrears after one full year, be de-activated from SIF membership.  The salary top up provided by the plan is available for a maximum of twenty (20) days.  Teachers are reminded that the yearly enrolment fee needs to be submitted by members directly to the VSTA and is not deducted by payroll.
