Academic Smart Forms
All levels of education should be included when creating Academic Smart Forms (e.g., adding a Bachelor’s degree as well as entering a Master’s degree). When a staff member’s level of education changes (e.g., Staff Member earns a PhD), the new education information needs to be added.
CAST Agreement Salary Scales
Under the CAST Agreement there are two salary scales: 1) for those who do not hold a PhD or equivalent; and 2) for those who hold a PhD or equivalent.
If at the time of hire a staff member does not hold a PhD or equivalent, that staff member is normally placed on a step using the non-PhD salary scale. If the PhD or equivalent is later completed, the staff member will be placed on a step using the PhD salary scale in the next appointment or the next Academic year (July-June), whichever comes first.
