Notes

1. Pay Administration

Subject to the provisions of the Article 40 on Pay and Appendix A, the University Teaching Group Pay Plan, which does not form part of this collective agreement, governs the application of pay to UTs in this bargaining unit. To the extent that this Plan modifies existing terms and conditions governing the application of pay in the bargaining unit, the University Teaching Group Pay Plan shall apply. The Employer agrees to consult with the Canadian Military Colleges Faculty Association at least two (2) months before making any changes to the University Teaching Group Pay Plan revised effective July 1, 2008.

Appendix B

Administrative Allowance

A UT at level 2, 3, or 4, who acts as head of a department, will receive an annual allowance based on the number of full-time faculty in the department as outlined below:

Number of full-time Faculty Annual Allowance
1 to 10 $3,000
11 to 15 $3,500
16 or more $4,000

The Principal may accord this allowance to a member who is appointed as an assistant dean, associate dean, vice-dean or equivalent, who carries out administrative tasks which are comparable in complexity and extent to those of a head of department.
