Professional Development Policy
The new Professional Development Policy is now available – HR.2.2.2 Professional Development Fund.
Also provided is the Frame work for approval of PD funds.
The highlights are:
- Each academic employee is provided with a maximum of $800 on a 24-month basis (inclusive of any taxes) as identified in the Collective Agreement and a maximum of $800 on a 24 month basis (inclusive of any taxes) funded by the Vice President, Academic, for individual professional development. Commencement of the 24-month period is determined by the academic employee’s start date as outlined in Section 12.05 of the 2017-2020 SAFA Collective Agreement.
- Pre-approval must be obtained through the completion of the required Application for Professional Development funding and associated AP60 form to access any monies under this program.
- This funding can be accessed in conjunction with other SAIT funding for the same purpose or activity.
Please feel free to contact the SAFA office if you have any questions.
