Article 31: Salaries
31.01 For Members employed full time for 12 months during the academic year, the regular salary as defined in Article 1, shall be adjusted as provided in this Article 31. For Members employed full time for less than 12 months during the academic year, the regular salary as defined in Article 1, shall be adjusted as provided in this Article 31 multiplied by the fraction obtained by dividing the number of months employed by 12. For Members employed less than full time during the academic year, the regular salary as defined in Article 1, shall be adjusted as provided in this Article 31 multiplied by the fraction of full time duties they were employed to carry out in accordance with the specification of this fraction in Clause 14.06.

31.03 Adjustments of regular salary rates for 2007/08 shall be made only for those Members falling into one of the following categories:
(a) Members whose appointments took effect on or before 1 January 2007, who had a regular salary rate for 2006/07, who received no adjustment to their regular salary rates for 2007/08 prior to 1 July 2007 and who have been employed as Members from at least 1 January 2007 to 1 July 2007;

Such Members shall receive an Adjustment to the Scale necessary to bring their regular salary rate up to the minimum for their rank and Y value, as shown in the appropriate Schedule.
31.05 Insofar as the salary paid to a Member for 2007/08 is modified solely as a result of a change in the fraction of full time duties that Member is employed to carry out, such a modification shall not be interpreted as an adjustment in regular salary rate for the purpose of Clause 31.03.

31.08

Such notice shall be given not later than the end of the month within which the C.D.I. is first withheld.
