Dates & Deadlines
2023 Faculty Salary Increases
The Faculty Association and the University have agreed to wait for the conclusion of the ratification vote to start the 2023 increase process. This is so that if the membership votes to ratify the new agreement the increases can be processed in sequential order, which will ensure clarity and mean that they will not have to redo any increases. The 2022 GWI will be first followed by October 1, 2022, labor market salary adjustments, the 2023 1% lump sum, and then the 2023 increases.
It is anticipated that Faculty Relations will send out the increase spreadsheets in June. We will share the exact timeline for the increase spreadsheets as soon as it is available.

Updates & Reminders
Sick Leave Extension Process for Faculty
Faculty HR team is not part of the approval process when Departments/Schools extend an approved sick leave in Workday as only the manager’s approval is required. Therefore, please notify the Faculty HR Team (following the portfolio breakdown) by email before you extend a faculty member’s paid sick leave in Workday, so we can review the sick leave extension and notify Faculty Relations. In your email, if not already uploaded to Workday, please include a doctor’s certification of the illness, a prognosis of the expected return date, and any accommodation that may be required if requesting a partial medical leave.
Faculty Job Ad Template Update
We updated the organization overview of UBC on the Faculty Job Ad Template to align with the standard language on the UBC Careers website. Please visit MedNet to download the latest version of the Faculty Job Ad Template.
