Moving staff to midpoint of salary range (midpoint progression increase)

UBC has procedures in place to ensure that staff in the following employee groups move to the midpoint of their salary range within a specified timeframe. These include Non-Union Technicians & Research Assistants (TRA), Executive Administrative Staff, Farm Workers, and Association of Administrative and Professional Staff (AAPS). 

Identifying eligible staff
Staff from affected employee groups who are currently below their salary range midpoint, and who are eligible for a midpoint progression increase (MPI), can be identified through a Workday report. A separate HR memo has also been distributed to Deans, Department Heads, Directors, and Administrators with instructions on how to run the Workday report and process the increase. You can view the memo here.

Midpoint progression increases are funded by departmental budgets.

As a reminder, excluded Management & Professional staff and Service Unit Directors are not included in this process, as their compensation is governed by a separate process.

Midpoint progression increase for AAPS
The university will ensure that staff who are members of AAPS progress to the midpoint of their salary range by the end of four years in their role, subject to satisfactory performance. This is in accordance with Letter of Agreement #1 in theAgreement on Conditions and Terms of Employment between UBC and AAPS.

Staff will not be automatically adjusted to the midpoint of their salary range. Their department needs to initiate the Request Compensation Change business process in Workday for these staff members.

Midpoint progression increase for TRA, Executive Administrative Staff, and Farm Workers
The university will ensure that staff who are members of these groups progress to the midpoint of their salary range within two years of starting their role, subject to satisfactory performance. This is in accordance with the Handbook for Technicians & Research Assistants and the Handbook for Executive Administrative Staff.

Staff will not be automatically adjusted to the midpoint of their salary range. Their department needs to initiate the Request Compensation Change business process in Workday for these staff members.

If you have questions regarding MPI or the salary of your staff, please contact your HR Advisor/Associate.
