Once a Contract Lecturer begins to accrue a full seniority point, they become eligible for Service Adjustment Pay. Service Adjustment Pay is paid every time you accrue a full seniority point. Unit 1 members holding full time and reduced sessional appointments receive Service Adjustment Pay after two consecutive terms. Unit 1 members holding part time sessional appointments receive Service Adjustment Pay after three consecutive terms.

Service Adjustment Pay is paid at the beginning of the term, either in the first or second pay, in which you accrue a full seniority point. We encourage our members to read their pay stubs with each pay to ensure that they are being appropriately compensated. Service Adjustment Pay is reported on your pay stub as a separate line from your Unit 1 bi-weekly pay. Service Adjustment Pay shows as a gross amount of $2,500.00 for the academic year or $1,250.00 gross per term.
