Along with general raises to base rates of pay, the signing of the new Collective Agreement brought
$2000 signing bonuses for MUNFA’s most precariously-employed members. All term appointees who held a contract during Academic Years 2021-22 or 2022-23 are entitled to bonuses, including regular and teaching term appointees, regardless of current employment status or length of contract (see Clause 31.15, full text below).
Former term appointees not currently employed by Memorial University have 45 days from the signing of the Collective Agreement to request signing bonuses from HR (myhr@mun.ca).
The deadline to apply is May 22, 2023.
Signing bonuses for current term appointees were scheduled to be paid out on May 4, 2023. If you are entitled to bonuses and have not yet been paid, please contact MUNFA at munfa@mun.ca.
