Stay window on the top with PySide

I have got an app which is written in Pyside. I would like to use a checkbox to my app window show always on the top.

class RemoteWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow):
"""
This is the main window for the capacitiveRemote which contains the remote
itself for controlling the boxes and shortcuts to starting scripts.
"""
def __init__(self):
    super(RemoteWindow, self).__init__()
    self.initUI()

This is my function 

def stayOnTop(self):
    if self.checkBoxTop:
        self.checkBoxTop.setStyleSheet("color: green")
        self.QMainWindow.setWindowFlags(QMainWindow.windowFlags() | QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)

This is the checkbox

#Stay on the top Checkboxes 

        self.checkBoxTop = QtGui.QCheckBox('Stay on top', self)
        self.checkBoxTop.setMaximumWidth(90)
        self.checkBoxTop.setChecked(0)
        self.checkBoxTop.clicked.connect(
            lambda: self.stayOnTop(),
        )

Any help would be appreciated.

 def stayOntop(self):

    if self.checkBoxTop:
        self.checkBoxTop.setStyleSheet("color: green")
        self.setWindowFlags(self.windowFlags() ^ QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint)
        self.show()

    else: 
        self.checkBoxTop.setStyleSheet("color: black")
