We would like to remind AAPSP members that requests for Income Averaging Self Funded Leaves are to be submitted by May 1st in any given year.

Since this is now a familiar process to our group, Human Resources will no longer be sending out an annual memo. All details are outlined within our agreement. A copy of our AAPSP agreement is available online by logging into your Employee Portal.

As with all requests, the onus is on the employee to follow the guidelines and ensure all target dates are met. For your reference, the details contained in the previous memos are noted below.

"As per Article 15.13 (Income Averaging Self-Funded Leave) of the AAPSP (Association of Administrative, Professional and Support Personnel) Memorandum of Agreement, employees can request a leave of absence as outlined below:

Income Averaging Self-Funded leave shall afford an Employee the opportunity to enter into an agreement with the Employer to take up to two (2) weeks of leave without pay, during a twelve (12) month period while continuing to receive a salary. The salary that an employee would have received during the period, minus the leave days without pay, is spread out or averaged over the full twelve (12) month period beginning July 01. Scheduling of the leave is subject to the mutual agreement of the Supervisor and the Employee.

Please note the following considerations when requesting this type of leave:
1. Only one period of leave per year may be scheduled under this provision and the leave period may vary from one to ten consecutive days.
2. The leave period may be scheduled between July 01 and June 30.
3. The leave is subject to the agreement of the Supervisor (based upon operational and scheduling considerations) and approval and processing by Human Resource Services.
4. In order to permit appropriate payroll processing, requests for leave under this plan must be submitted in writing (or by e-mail) to the attention of Beth Strong following agreement with the Supervisor by May 01.
5. The adjusted salary will be paid commencing July 01 and ending June 30 (of the year applied*)."

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact your AAPSP Representative, or any member of the Executive.
