LTO Salary Calculation
LTO salaries mirror those of contract teachers but are calculated differently. Pay grids from 2022-2026‚ negotiated by OCEOTA‚ OPSBA‚ and the Ministry of Education‚ determine rates based on experience and QECO category placement.
Experience and QECO Category Impact
The LTO pay is influenced significantly by a teacher’s years of experience and their QECO (Qualifications Evaluation Council of Ontario) category. The salary grid‚ applicable from 2022-2026‚ uses these factors to determine compensation. Increased experience and higher QECO ratings translate to higher placement on the grid‚ resulting in a greater daily rate. LTOs must submit their QECO and experience letters to ensure accurate placement; otherwise‚ they default to Level A1‚ Year 1. The grid is based on experience to the tenths of a year.
2024-2025 Daily OT Rate
The Daily Rate of Pay for occasional teachers in 2024-2025 is $271.59‚ plus approximately 4% vacation pay. Payment is issued two weeks in arrears to Daily OTs. This rate reflects negotiated increases for the specified period.
Payment Schedule and Calculation
Occasional Teachers (OTs) in Ontario receive their pay on a bi-weekly basis‚ meaning they are paid every two weeks. This payment schedule typically involves a delay‚ as OTs are paid “two weeks in arrears” for the days they have worked. The daily OT rate for 2024-2025 is calculated considering negotiated increases and vacation pay‚ with the base rate being $271.59 plus an additional 4% for vacation.
Long-Term Occasional Teachers (LTOs) are also paid bi-weekly‚ based on 1/194th of their applicable grid rate. Proper documentation of QECO qualifications and experience is essential for accurate pay calculation.
Teacher Salary Ranges in Ontario
Teacher salaries in Ontario vary significantly‚ ranging from approximately $59‚266 to $103‚250 annually. This range depends on factors such as experience‚ qualifications (QECO category)‚ and the specific collective agreements in place.

For first-year teachers in Ontario‚ salary expectations generally range from $28‚000 to $94‚500 annually‚ although some can reach $116‚000. Starting salaries are determined by the applicable collective agreement‚ QECO qualifications‚ and prior teaching experience. New teachers are placed on the salary grid based on their credentials. Placement is based on qualifications. Experience letters and QECO ratings are essential to ensure accurate initial salary placement. The initial placement significantly impacts their earning potential throughout their teaching career. Therefore‚ understanding the grid and submitting necessary documents is crucial for new educators.
