Search Online Managers' Toolkit

The responsibilities of your job are set out in a position description approved by your Deputy Head. You sign the position description to indicate that it is an accurate description of the position you occupy.

Your position description is evaluated by a committee against several criteria set out in the Senior Management Job Evaluation Plan. This evaluation determines the salary of the job. Your position is assigned to one of the pay bands on the chart on page 10.

Your salary placement in your band depends on your experience and performance. If you are new in your position, your salary will be at or close to the minimum. It is expressed as a percentage of the maximum.  The minimum is 70% and the maximum is 100%.

Salary is paid every other week. Your bi-weekly salary is calculated by multiplying your hourly rate by the number of hours in the pay period. Upon initial hire, one week of your base salary will be withheld and you will be paid one week in arrears until the termination of your employment.

Position review

  1. Where your position is removed from the senior management group as a result of a review that concludes it was over-evaluated or as a result of changes in job duties, and the maximum salary payable in the new pay range is less than your maximum salary, you will be paid as the present incumbent of that position in a holding range which will permit you to be paid at a salary which is nearest to and not less than your present maximum salary.
  2. Where you are being paid as the present incumbent of a position in a holding range and unreasonably refuse a transfer or training which would put you in a position at, or above the level of the position before it was re-evaluated, or which would place you in a position closer to the level established for the position before it was re-evaluated, you will cease to be paid in the holding range. Instead, you will be paid in the range of rates applicable to the re-evaluated position that is nearest to the rate you were being paid in the holding range.
  3. Where you are being paid as the present incumbent of a position in a holding range you will be paid, in addition to the salary that is nearest to and not less than your former maximum salary, an allowance equivalent to 3% of the former salary in compensation for the loss of employer paid benefits for which you may no longer be eligible

Where your position is removed from the senior management group as a result of a change to job duties and you are not in agreement with the present incumbent provisions set out in i, ii, and iii, above, the Staff Retention Policy shall apply to you

Salary Review

Your salary may be adjusted annually in a number of ways. The first mechanism is economic adjustments, which may increase the salary ranges. If your performance has been satisfactory, your salary will be increased by an amount equal to the overall economic adjustment. Your relative position in the salary range will, therefore, stay the same.

Deputy Heads may also grant merit increases. This is done in two ways, the first of which is an increase to the base salary, which is part of your ongoing salary package.

The second is in the form of a one-time bonus that does not affect your salary base. The combination of merit and bonus increases cannot exceed 8%.  Annual merit increases are based on your performance for the year ending March 31. 

Salary is paid every other week.  Your bi-weekly salary is calculated by dividing the annual salary by 26.
