Compensation

Academic staff members are formally evaluated on a biennial basis, and a merit increment is applied to each of the current and succeeding years.

The regular assessment of each academic appointee shall normally be prepared by the Head or equivalent as the appropriate administrative officer in the department or unit who is uniquely qualified to assess the impact of the appointee's contributions to the appointee's particular field.

“Provost’s Fund” is the budget available to the Provost and Vice-President (Academic) to provide rank salary increases in order to retain individual academic staff members when competitive pressures in the market warrant such payments beyond the allowable term of a market supplement and to provide funds to faculties and academic units for the general support of academic staff.

An academic staff member may receive a salary increase to address a salary anomaly, relative to colleagues in the same Department or other appropriate academic unit, that can be demonstrated to have been present at the staff member’s time of hire.

Overload teaching is assigned within departments and faculties. Overload duties shall note be assigned unless voluntarily agreed to by the academic staff member.  An academic staff member assigned overload duties shall receive extra remuneration in accordance with the Collective Agreement, Schedule “A”, Article 1.4.

Market Supplements are payments made to academic staff members in addition to their rank salaries.
