It is intended to assist boards with implementing further changes that have been negotiated to the benefit plan and compensation reforms. Specifically, it is for the additional costs in of: integrating payroll and benefits systems; increasing the functionality of existing HR and payroll systems to effectively process unpaid days and retirement gratuities, sick leave claims and maternity benefits; and staff training to support system enhancements and modifications, as well as any costs associated with temporary staffing. Funding will be allocated on a formula basis using a base amount and a proportional enrolment percentage. Please refer to Appendix A for the board-by-board allocations. Funds will be required to be committed by December 31, Any funds not expended in accordance with the eligibility criteria will be recovered. Partial cost of October 11, 2013, PD Day Under the terms of the Memoranda of Understanding s (MOUs), October 11, 2013, was a PD day reserved for the delivery of Ministry priorities. Recognizing the importance of professional development, the Ministry will provide funding to cover the first 16% of the amount needed for boards to offset the cost of this day.
