2021–2024 Salary Settlement Reached

FAUW is happy to announce that we have reached a three-year salary settlement with the University administration, effective May 1, 2021. 

This round of negotiations posed some unique challenges: meeting via video conferencing, the added stressors of the pandemic, and the unusual constraints of Bill 124, which restricts the University’s total spending on compensation to a 1% increase each year for three years. 

Our negotiating team has been engaged in bargaining with the University on salary and other compensation items since December 1, 2020. We did not reach an agreement by midnight, February 1, so negotiations will continue, first with a mediator and then, if an agreement is still not reached by March 1, going to arbitration. All these procedures are set out in section 10 of the Memorandum of Agreement.

New Faculty Orientation: Winter 2021

Faculty members who started at Waterloo after (or who missed) the new faculty events in August and September are invited to an information session on January 29, 2021. Representatives from the Centre for Teaching Excellence and the Faculty Association will be there to share information and answer questions about starting your career at UW.

Our 2018 salary settlement with the University included a commitment to re-allocate unused Faculty Professional Expense Reimbursement (FPER) funds. We've reached an agreement with Provost to divide all the FPER money that expired last spring and this spring equally among members and add it to this year’s FPER allowance (for faculty who were FPER-eligible as of May 1, 2020). That will happen on December 4, 2020.

Wednesday, September 2, 2020 - Friday, September 4, 2020 (all day)

New Faculty Orientation Series

This year's new faculty orientation is a series of online synchronous panel sessions, along with a virtual resource fair and a break-out session for lecturers. The virtual resource fair will give you the opportunity to visit any one or all of five virtual “rooms” to chat with representatives from a wide range of campus resources.
