Your Dufferin-Peel File

Did you know that the Board keeps a personnel file on you and that file is kept in the Human Resources Department at the Board office? You have the right to know what is in your file (Article 12.01 of the Collective Agreement). The Unit recommends that every 2 or 3 years you make an appointment with Human Resources to go in and review the materials in it. If you find something that you did not know about, ask for a copy and contact the Unit Office immediately.

QECO Evaluation Statement Deadline

Occasional Teachers doing LTO Assignments are reminded to promptly submit their QECO evaluation certificate to the Board in order to be paid at the proper grid category. Article 16.05 d) of the Collective Agreement states, “It shall be the responsibility of the Long Term Occasional Teacher to provide the Board with her/his Qualifications Rating Statement and any supporting documents no later than the end of the assignment.” Check the QECO web pages here.
