Every five years, a Salary Anomaly Working Group reviews faculty salaries for inequities, including but not limited to gender-based inequities, and recommends how cases of inequity should be resolved. This is a joint working group of FAUW and the University.

Due to delays in data collection, this process was halted, but has resumed in early 2023. FAUW's representatives on the re-constituted working group are Rashmee Singh, Kate Rybczynski, and Michael Wallace. The working group submitted their report on October 30, 2024.

2018
The January 2018 Memorandum of Salary Settlement between the University and FAUW established a Working Group on Salary Structure (WGSS) because of an unintended inequity in our salary system. Lecturers were reaching the thresholds earlier in their career than professors, unfairly reducing their salary growth over time.
The Working Group’s mandate was to “recommend adjustments to the structure to promote equitable influence of the selective increase system on relative career salary progression of lecturers.” The working group recommended increasing the lecturer thresholds and the changes were implemented retroactively to May 1, 2018.
