Merit Awards. 9.1.3 Effective Dates of Salary Increases
Merit Awards. There shall be a Merit Award Fund of an amount set out in Article 36B.03. This sum shall be distributed to Employees on the basis of merit by the University of New Brunswick. Each award shall be paid as a lump sum and shall not become part of the recipient's salary. At the request of the recipient, an equivalent sum may be paid on a T4A basis as a research grant for personal professional development. The disposition of the awards shall be published in University Perspectives following their approval by the Board of Governors. There shall be no grievances arising from the disposition of the merit awards insofar as the disposition is not in conflict with this Collective Agreement. Prior to making their nominations for merit awards, the Deans shall ask for suggestions from the academic departments and the libraries for which they are responsible.
Merit Awards. Merit increase may be awarded when proficiency, growth and levels of performance are considerably better than what is viewed as “normal” and recognizes exceptional contributions. Merit increases may be provided in one of two ways – base salary increases or lump sum bonuses. Base salary merit increases will be added to a member’s base salary providing such an increase does not exceed the maximum of the salary range. If the salary increase would cause the member’s salary to exceed the maximum of the salary range, a salary increase up to the maximum of the salary range will be added to the base-salary and the remainder will be paid as a lump sum bonus. Lump sum bonuses will not be added to a member’s base salary. Effective May 1, 1.33% of the total annual membership salary from the previous fiscal year is allocated for base salary merit increases. The percentage merit increase for each year is calculated based on the total base salary allocation divided by the total actual salaries of the members awarded base salary merit increases. Effective May 1, 0.67% of the total annual membership salary from the previous fiscal year is allocated for lump sum bonuses. The lump sum percentage award for each year is calculated based on the total base salary allocation divided by the total actual salaries of the members awarded lump sum bonuses. It is intended that up to 60% of eligible members will be awarded a merit award in any given year with approximately two thirds receiving base salary merit increases and the other one third receiving lump sum bonuses. All available funds will be dispersed to the meritorious recipients. Merit decisions are not subject to the grievance procedure.
Merit Awards. 13.1. The Committee may from time to time make an Award of Stock under the Plan to selected Employees for such reasons and in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine. The consideration to be paid by an Employee for any such Merit Award, if any, shall be fixed by the Committee from time to time, but, if required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, it shall not be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of Stock awarded to him or her.
Merit Awards. A sum equal to 0.75% of the salaries of continuing members of the bargaining unit (the total CPI pool) shall, effective on July 1 of each year, be allocated in accordance with the following provisions:
a) Merit awards shall be comprised of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3 units, the value of 1 unit to be the same as that of a CPI unit as in Article 2.02(a) above.
b) Each continuing member of the bargaining unit shall be considered for a merit award, taking into consideration the criteria set out in Article 4 of Part 4: Conditions of Appointment for Faculty, namely teaching, scholarly activity, educational leadership, and service to the University and to the community, Article 3 of Part 5: Conditions of Appointment for Librarians and Article 3 of Part 6: Conditions of Appointment for Program Directors in Extended Learning. Judgments shall be based on the duties expected of a member in the period in question and shall not be based on activities in which the member had not the opportunity to engage. For example, a faculty member who is not expected to teach but is expected to carry out research and contribute service should be considered on the latter two criteria. A member whose assigned duties consist of teaching and service (e.g. Lecturer) should be considered only on those two criteria. The basis for this round of recommendations should be academic performance relative to these criteria between April 1 of the previous year and March 31 of the current year for increases effective July 1. The Head shall consult with a reasonable number of colleagues reflecting diverse perspectives and ranks in the unit before making a recommendation on the award of merit. If the Head cannot adequately assess the contribution outside the department of an individual for the purpose of merit they shall consult with the Xxxx and either the Vice President Academic at the Vancouver campus or the Deputy Vice Chancellor at the Okanagan campus as appropriate before making a recommendation.
