Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
The fee rules for district school boards paying central bargaining fees have been restructured. English-language district school boards (previously distinguished as 'public') are now directed to pay their employer bargaining agency fee to CODE. The separate rule requiring English-language separate district school boards to pay their fee to the Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association has been revoked and is no longer in effect. French-language public and separate district school board fee obligations are unchanged. Boards should confirm which employers' association they are now required to remit fees to and update their payment processes accordingly.
