Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat. This pay plan describes pay administration for employees in the University Teaching Group (UT) of the Scientific and Professional Category. The objective of this plan is to encourage optimum performance by enabling senior management to recognize experience and to reward employees in the University Teaching Group according to their contribution to the attainment of the goals of the Canadian military colleges. It reflects an approach to compensation used by progressive universities in Canada and is in accord with government policy on personnel management. The plan (approved March 11, 1982, TB 781410) provides college principals with flexibility in recommending merit/maturity pay increases for faculty members within a salary range for each level and selected performance awards to distinguished members of the faculty. 1, record 4, English, - Salary%20administration%20plan%20%2D%20University%20Teaching%20Group

Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada. Le présent document décrit le Régime de rémunération des employés du groupe d’enseignement universitaire(UT), de la catégorie scientifique et professionnelle. Ce régime a pour but de favoriser un rendement optimal en permettant à la haute direction de reconnaître l'expérience des employés du groupe d’enseignement universitaire et de les rémunérer en fonction de leur contribution à la réalisation des objectifs que se fixent les collèges militaires du Canada. Il s’inspire d’un concept de rémunération appliqué par toutes les universités avant-gardistes du Canada et est compatible avec la politique du gouvernement en matière de gestion du personnel. Approuvé le 11 mars 1982 par la délibération 781410 du Conseil du Trésor, le régime donne aux directeurs des collèges la latitude voulue pour recommander, en fonction de l'échelle de rémunération applicable à chaque niveau, des augmentations de traitement fondées sur le mérite et l'ancienneté ainsi que l'attribution de primes de rendement à des professeurs émérites ayant atteint le maximum de l'échelle. 1, record 4, French, - R%C3%A9gime%20d%26rsquo%3Badministration%20des%20traitements%20%2D%20Groupe%20d%26rsquo%3Benseignement%20universitaire
