The Board of Regents approved the revised &²Ô²ú²õ±è;Compensation policy for Memorial University at its meeting on June 24, 2026. This policy, which applies to non-bargaining, management and professional, and leadership group employees, came into effect on July 1. 

The updates strengthen clarity, consistency, accountability and fiscal responsibility in compensation administration at Memorial. 

Key updates include: 

• The clarification of the definition of existing rates and the addition of a new existing rates policy section. Related updates to salary adjustments provisions were also made. 

• The inclusion of temporary appointments. The definition distinguishes between temporary appointments and other employment arrangements. 

• A new provision for temporary vacancy coverage. This provision enables units to request HR approval to temporarily distribute duties of a vacant position between two employees. This provision applies only in exceptional circumstances that require immediate operational coverage. 

• Increased unit accountability for supervisory differentials. 

• Consolidation of the former On-Call policy into the Compensation policy and the changing of the former Student Employment policy to Student Employment Guidelines.  

The Compensation policy updates were informed by operational experience and feedback.   

Members of the People and Culture team will be hosting an online policy information session on August 13, from 10:30–11:30 a.m. To register for this session or to indicate your interest in attending a future session, please access the registration .
