TO:   Principals, Deans, Academic Directors and Chairs

DATE:   March 25, 2003
RE:   Annual PTR/Merit Assessment and Salary Increase Instructions

This document consolidates instructions for annual reporting by faculty, for salary increases and for the administration of the PTR/Merit Scheme to assist you with performance evaluation of your faculty members and librarians. The PTR award is based on performance assessment for 2002-2003. Note that these instructions have been substantially restructured from previous years.

Negotiations between the University and UTFA are currently under way. The across-the-board increase for faculty and librarians for July 1, 2003 will be agreed upon during these negotiations. However, PTR increments for July 1, 2003 are based on the prior year's increments increased by the ATB amount (3%) from July 1, 2002, which was part of the arbitration award received in December 2002.

Please begin your assessment process promptly.
