Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use a “non-contact” cost of sub day?
Admittedly, the language is inherently difficult. As per article 10.2.2 of the LINC agreement, teachers are entitled to leave on two non-student contact days per school year. They cannot be carried over to another school year. When booking the day off you would choose “Spec Leaves Cos – Tpd/Plc”. Since no sub is required, there is no deduction in your pay.
