24. On 1 April each year, a salary increase is granted to an assistant president and executive director, unless his or her performance during the year ending on 31 March is deemed unsatisfactory. The employer’s substantiated written assessment is sent to the assistant president and executive director during the reference period. No appeal may be made regarding the content of the assessment.
The salary increase represents 4% of the assistant president and executive director’s salary on 31 March, provided that the increase does not make the salary of the assistant president and executive director higher than the maximum for the salary class for the position.
Where an assistant president and executive director has held his or her position for less than 1 year at the effective date of the salary increase or has changed employers during the reference period, the salary increase is established according to the time the assistant president and executive director has worked during the year prior to 1 April in that position or another position of assistant president and executive director, senior administrator or officer with the same employer or another employer.
The assistant president and executive director who has not worked during the whole year preceding 1 April, either because the assistant president and executive director is disabled or on leave without pay, deferred salary leave or progressive pre-retirement leave, is entitled to the salary increase according to the time worked during the year. Despite the foregoing, for the purpose of calculating the percentage of the salary increase, a disabled assistant president and executive director is considered as having been at work during the first 6 months of his or her disability.
Where an assistant president and executive director holds on 1 April or has held during the year preceding this 1 April a part-time position, the rate of the salary increase is determined according to the assistant president and executive director’s relative annual work load during the year.
