20.07 Administrative Allowance
A Resident must be formally designated as “Chief (Administrative) Resident” by the Program Director and that appointment must also be approved in writing by the Associate Dean.
The designation of a Resident as Chief (Administrative) Resident is an Academic matter.
The administration allowance is compensation for the significant administrative functions that may include, but are not limited to the following duties, but are illustrated by: the preparation of all schedules and on-call rotations, organizing and scheduling of department rounds, liaison between house staff and senior staff and acting as a resource person for Residents for the purpose of teaching, supervision, peer review, appointments to appropriate committees and attendance at meeting as required to discuss matters related to the Residency Programs.
Upon being advised by the Associate Dean that a Resident is formally designated as Chief (Administrative) Resident, the Employer shall pay a stipend as set out in the chart below.
The amount of the stipend is to be determined based on the number of full-time equivalents enrolled and actively engaged in the Residency Program for which the Resident is the Chief (Administrative) Resident as follows:
