IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO BE AWARE OF:
For requested periods of leave equaling 30 days or less, you are required to maintain enrollment in the benefits and pension plans. Qualified leave requests for more than 30 days, mean you are entitled to options with respect to enrollment in the plans. You are encouraged to review the Leave Administration policy and accompanying Leave Without Pay Procedure for details.

Contractual employees in contracts that are a minimum length of 12 months may anticipate annual leave accrual to the end of the current fiscal year or their contract end date, whichever is shorter. For an employee who begins a contract on Sept. 1, they will have access to the annual leave that they will accrue between the period of Sept. 1-March 31, 2019.  When the new fiscal year begins, the employee will then have access to the amount of leave they will accrue between the period of April 1, 2019 and Oct. 31, 2019.

If there is a balance in your "taken" column that you feel is an error, first discuss this with your unit's leave administrator. If a leave has been keyed in error, a leave adjustment can be completed to make the correction. However, it is possible that if you had taken leave prior to this fiscal year that was not previously entered, it will show as "taken" in the current fiscal year. Your unit leave administrator can confirm when the leave was taken to ensure no error has occurred.

The university, through the Department of Human Resources, covers the cost of tuition for eligible employees to take one Memorial University academic credit course per semester to a maximum of three courses per calendar year. Employees are responsible for all other costs such as admission and registration fees, textbooks, student union fees, laboratory fees, and research and project fees.

Programs that have additional special fees or premium tuition associated with them are not covered under the policy. The maximum funding for such programs is an amount equivalent to the basic tuition (or equivalent program enrollment fee) that would apply in the absence of a special fee or premium tuition or any other incremental program enrollment fee.

Eligible employees are permanent, operating-funded employees contributing into the university’s benefits program including operating-funded contractual employees whose contract (or series of contracts) is for a period greater than 6 months and who are contributing into the university’s benefits program. 

Approval for all financial assistance for credit courses must be obtained prior to the semester for which assistance is requested. The university has no obligation to pay for courses which have not received prior approval. Additional information on the approval process can be found on the Academic Credit Courses page of the HR website. 

This opportunity is detailed in the Employee Training and Development policy and the Procedure for Availing of Memorial University Credit Courses. Please refer to the policy and procedure for detailed information.

21. How can I access the Pension Projection Tool?

You have the ability to do this on my.mun.ca. For directions, please see question 1. Once logged in, access the Employee Services tab. Click the Memorial Pension Information and Tools button. You will be presented with three options, the third of which will link you to the Pension Projection Tool. Click on the ‘estimate your pension’ link and follow the onscreen prompts to input your information. It is very important to remember that the Ariel Pension System will project an estimation based on what is stored there in conjunction with what you inputted. Contact MyHR by email or call (709)864-2434 where you have concerns that the results presented are inaccurate. It is also a good idea to contact us when you are getting close to planning your retirement to ensure we are aware of your plans and be ready to provide helpful information as needed.

Review the Pension Information on the Human Resources website as it has comprehensive information about Memorial’s Pension Plan and things you should know for your own retirement planning. The Department of Human Resources regularly provides information in various formats from time to time, and provides a pension statement on an annual basis, usually in the fall. Pension statements will include information as at December 31 of the prior calendar year. As yearly statements generate, they are viewable on my.mun.ca at any time. To do this, click the Memorial Pension Information and Tools button, and follow the 'summary' link in the second option of the page.

An employee should provide formal written notice in all cases when planning retirement. In relation to the collective agreement for Marine Institute (MI), staff must provide 30 days notice to the department head. MI's instructors agreement states 90 days notice should be given to your supervisor or department head. If retiring at the end of the academic year, notice should be given prior to April 30. For the other campuses, a minimum two weeks notice should be provided to your supervisor or department head. For faculty falling under MUNFA, the collective agreement requires best effort to provide at least six months notice to the president, vice-president (academic), the administrative head, and at Grenfell Campus, the vice-president. In all cases, notice should also be provided to Human Resources at the earliest opportunity to ensure smooth transition and avoid disruption in income.

The travel health plan is intended for both personal and work related travel and provides emergency out of province medical coverage for employees and retirees (please note, all employees and retirees who are enrolled in the university medical and dental plans are automatically covered under the travel health insurance plan. For those with family coverage, dependents are also covered.) You can find additional information on travel health insurance here. Please remember, amounts under $500 should be paid up front and submitted with paid in full receipts to SSQ on return.  To make a claim, please contact MyHR by email or call (709) 864-2434 to obtain the proper forms. For amounts over $500, you should call the SSQ emergency number on the back of your travel health card.  The insurance card is available for download/printing through the Employee Self Service channel under the Employees tab on your my.mun portal. An HR representative can address your general questions, but for more specific information about your own personal situation, you are encouraged to contact SSQ directly at 1-800-848-0158. 

Family Responsibility Leave is an important aspect of the university’s employee support program and is available to employees who require leave assistance in attending to family-related matters. 

Up to six days of paid family leave in each two-year fiscal period (even calendar years; for example: April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2016) are available to employees who are required to be absent from work for any of the following reasons:

i) Attend to temporary care of a sick family member;

ii) Attend to needs related to the birth or adoption of an employee’s child;

iii) Accompany a family member on a dental or medical appointment;

iv) Attend meetings with school or other authorities;

v) Attend to needs related to eldercare;

vi) Attend to needs related to home or family emergencies;

vii) Attend to needs related to the death of a family member (as defined in the Bereavement section);

viii) Attend to other personal, family, or home related needs not listed above.

Family leave entitlement for part-time and contractual employees is prorated based on hours and length of employment contract. If the employment of an individual with the university comes to an end and this employee has used more family leave then they were entitled to (ex: they have used the entitlement for two full years but leave after one year and a half years) then their overdrawn family leave would be deducted from their annual leave balance.

LTD is outlined in the Leave Administration policy.  Please consult the policy for details.

Employees are not eligible for Long Term Disability (LTD) coverage if they are employed for a period of less than six months or work less than 20 hours per week. These employees are entitled to sick leave, on a prorated basis for the number of hours worked, up to a maximum of 10 days per fiscal year.

Extra taxes can be deducted from your biweekly pay. To do so, please complete the TD1 Federal and indicate the amount you wish deducted in the box for Extra Taxes on page 2 of the TD1. You can access the TD1 on the CRA website\P

In the Employee tab of the my.mun.ca portal, Memorial employees can access employment related information including: their personal leave entitlement/balances, pay stubs, benefits, deductions, tax information, personal contact information, employee equity survey, and SSQ health card. The portal also lists current internal job postings, all Human Resources forms, and includes a pension projection tool.

Memorial has a Work-Flex Program to provide different options to employees who are interested in modifying their existing work arrangements to help them address personal wellness or work-life balance needs, for career development/job enrichment purposes, or for other similar reasons. For specifics on this program and information on how it can be utilized, please consult the Leave Administration policy and accompanying Procedure for Flexible Work Arrangements.

Your access to human resource data such as pay stubs remains available to you through the my.mun.ca portal after you have ended your employment contract. Your ID and password remains as is, and access to the data continues. If you do not remember your User ID and/or your Password, simply access the ‘Having Problems’ tab at the login window, and follow the onscreen instructions. There is a possibility that this step may not work if you have not accessed your account for a lengthy period of time following the end of employment. In this instance, you may contact the Memorial ITS Service Desk at 864-4595 for assistance.
