  Understanding Your Paycheque
Income
  1. %/Lieu - Instead of having benefits, TOC's are paid a specified amount for each day worked and fall into 2 categories.  For each day worked, $3 is paid instead of benefits ($1.50 for half day).  The exception is if you work a consecutive assignment of 5 days or greater.  In this case, you will be paid $3/day worked for days 1-4, and 10% of your salary for days 5 and over.
  2. Regular - these are days that are paid for any assignment that is 3 days or less, the exception being #3 below.
  3. On-scale - these are either for days 1-4 for any assignment (plus $3 in lieu of benefits) or where a TOC has worked four or more consecutive days (or mixture of full and half days).
  4. On-Scale - these on-scale days are different from #3 in that they are for days 5, 6, ... for any consecutive assignment.  In this case, %/LIEU will be a mixture of $3/day for regular and #3 on-scale days, plus 10% of your salary from #4 On-scale days.
  5. SIP - for part-time teachers, their paycheque will include 2% of salary as SIP.  Basically this is a raise in that it it covers the 1.7% of salary that is deducted for LTD (long term disability) and SHORTDISB (Short term disability).
