Authority to Collect Data

The information requested in this survey is collected under the authority of the Statistics Act, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1985, Chapter S19. This survey is mandatory in accordance with the Statistics Act.

This data collection is the only source of national level information on full-time teaching staff in Canadian public degree granting institutions, and is used by a variety of federal, provincial, and international organizations and governments, postsecondary institutions and individual researchers.

Statistics Canada is prohibited by law from publishing any statistics which would divulge information obtained from this data collection that relates to any identifiable individual. Furthermore, the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act are not affected by either the Access to Information Act or any other legislation. Additionally, institution level data from this data collection will only be published and made available to the public, if written permission is provided to Statistics Canada in the form of a signed authorization form from the participating institution.

Coverage

Data should be submitted for all full-time teaching staff employed in public degree granting institutions that receive funding from a provincial or territorial ministry of education and/or are a member of the CAUBO (Canadian Association of University Business Officers) survey as of October 1 of the reporting year. The affiliates and other related colleges of these institutions may be reported by the parent institution or independently. As well, please include full-time research staff who have an academic rank and a salary scale similar to teaching staff.

This data collection includes full-time teaching staff that spend the majority of their teaching time on credit courses leading to degree programs (as opposed to continuing education courses, special interest courses or courses in a program that do not lead to a degree).

Full-time include:

  1. Staff appointed on a full-time basis whose term of appointment is not less than twelve months (include any staff member on leave).
  2. New appointees hired on a full-time basis whose term of contract is twelve months but for the first year he/she can only be at the institution for less than twelve months.
  3. Staff who were appointed to teach full-time (12 months or more) and at a later date have entered into a formal agreement with the institution to work on a reduced load basis. This situation usually arises with staff members who are approaching retirement. 

Teaching staff included in the survey:

  1. All academic staff within faculties (colleges, schools, etc.) who are full-time teachers, researchers (meeting the above criteria), and/or senior academic staff, i.e., deans, chairperson, directors etc.
  2. All full-time teachers within faculties, whether or not they hold an academic rank.
  3. Full-time academic staff in teaching hospitals (see element 25 for details).
  4. Visiting full-time academic staff in faculties.
  5. Full-time research staff that have an academic rank and a salary scale similar to teaching staff.

Staff excluded from this survey:

  1. Administrators solely responsible for university administration, i.e., president, vice-president, registrar, comptroller, etc.
  2. Administrative assistants within faculties (colleges, schools, etc.).
  3. Librarians.
  4. Non-academic support staff both in faculties (college, school, etc.) and other university departments
  5. Markers, demonstrators, lab assistants, etc.
  6. Graduate teaching assistants.
  7. Postdoctoral fellows.
  8. Academic staff within faculties (colleges, schools, etc.) who have been hired as researchers without academic rank and/or whose salary scales are different from teaching staff. 

Reporting Options

Statistics Canada provides the institutions with an “Edit Checker” (tool) that includes their previous year’s data for each teaching staff member, for updating. The data elements will be arranged in the same order as the record layout. Once the current year’s data has been loaded in this tool, it runs a number of preliminary edits on the data that will prompt the institution to address common reporting issues.

Updating Instructions:

Returning teaching staff: any data elements that changed since the last survey are to be updated. Elements that typically change from year to year are: actual salary, annual rate of salary, administrative stipends, senior administrative responsibilities, researchers and visitors’ code, reduced load, number of months on sabbatical leave, and number of months on unpaid leave during the current academic year. Elements that change less frequently include: level of highest earned degree, year of highest earned degree, province/country of highest degree, rank, year of appointment to present rank at current institution and principal subject taught.

New teaching staff: Institutions are required to provide all data elements for each new teaching staff reported.

Non–returning staff: Please delete the record.

While it is preferred that the edit checker tool is used, institutions can also send Statistics Canada the individual data for each full-time teaching staff member in an EXCEL format. Please use the codes provided in this Data Element Manual, and list the data elements in the order they appear in the record layout on page 6.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of data during transmission, Statistics Canada requires that all information is sent through their “Electronic File Transfer System”. Information on sending and receiving files through this secure internet based service is included in the annual request for information or can be obtained by contacting the UCASS team.

Reporting Date

Most data elements in this survey are to be reported as of October 1 (a “snap shot” of the survey). However, the following data elements are not conceptually a snapshot and are reported on a 12 months basis: Number of months on sabbatical leave, Number of months on unpaid leave, Reduced load, and Actual salary.

For medical/dental staff, it is understood that, in most cases, the institution itself, provincial medical care institutions (e.g. hospitals) and/or medical care plan contribute to the staff member's salary at an agreed upon ratio. In some institutions, staff receive all their remuneration directly from the university and the university bills the hospital (or medical care plan) for the latter's share. In other cases, the staff member receives remuneration from the university, the hospitals and/or medical care plan. In order to keep the actual salary reported as comparable as possible among institutions, please include, for medical/dental staff, both the university contribution and the contribution by hospitals and/or medical care plans (excluding special grants, fees for services to patients, guarantees, etc.).

The following elements will affect the actual salary:

  1. Element 11: "Number of months on sabbatical leave during the current academic year": For example, if the staff member had a non 100% reimbursed sabbatical leave, it is expected that the actual salary reported would be reduced.
  2. Element 12: "Number of months on unpaid leave during the current academic year". For example, if the staff member took 6 months of unpaid leave, it is expected that the actual salary would be reduced by about 50%.

Notes:

The reported annual rate of salary should reflect all newly negotiated settlement applicable as of October 1 and should not include expected increases or adjustment which may become effective at a later date. If salaries are not negotiated by that date, please report the newly negotiated settlement applicable as of October 1, when they become known.

For those staff on sabbatical leave, unpaid leave and reduced load please report the annual gross salary that would have been paid had the staff member not gone on leave or had a reduced load.

The "Annual Rate of Salary" will be the same as the "Actual Salary" (Element 07) where the staff member is employed for the full 12 months of the year and is not on an unpaid leave, reduced load or 100% non-reimbursed sabbatical leave.

For medical/dental staff, please report (on an annual rate basis), the staff member's income from all sources including operating and trust funds from the university, hospitals and/or medical care plans, and special grants from health or research agencies but excluding fees for service to patients and guarantees.

Description:

A four - digit element, to report the year in which the staff member attained their current rank (as reported in element 22) at their current institution.

Notes:

Please note the following when deciding what year to report:

  1. The year should only change when a staff member has been promoted from one rank to the next. The year does not change when the administrative responsibilities change.
  2. The service between the year of appointment to the current rank (as indicated in this element) and the present year must be both uninterrupted and full-time. It is recognized that leave can be granted without interrupting the continuous service.
  3. If the period of employment at the current rank has been interrupted (i.e., the staff member has severed their connection with the institution), the year of reappointment should be reported.
  4. It is quite possible that the year reported in this element will be the same as that reported in element 26 ("Year of Appointment to Institution"). This would occur when the staff member has not had a change in rank since their appointment (or reappointment) to the institution.

Codes:

Four - digits of the year in which the staff member attained their present rank.

Element 24: Type of Appointment

Description:

A one - digit element to report the type of appointment held by the staff member at the institution.

Notes:

Those teachers who have been granted tenure should be coded as 1.

Teachers for whom, in the normal course of events, e.g., after a certain period of time and, in some cases, upon completion of their doctorate, a tenure review is required by university policy are to be coded as 2.

Staff for whom no tenure review is required should be coded as 3. This category includes teachers hired for one year or more, with no formal commitment on the part of the university to renew their contract, although the contract may in fact be renewed (or has been renewed).

Those reported as code 4 (visiting staff), should also have been reported as code 6 or 8 in Element 10 "Senior Administrative Responsibilities, Researchers and Visitors".

Codes:

1. Tenured

2. Leading to tenure, probationary

3. Non – tenured staff. This could include annual, sessional or other definite term contracts. Other terms used to describe staff in this category are "full-time term employees", "limited term positions", and other contractual staff whose contracts are greater than 12 months.

4. Visiting staff, i.e., staff with a permanent affiliation to another university or organization.

5. Other staff: Continuing staff (i.e. staff neither on tenure stream nor on definite term contract).

Element 25: Medical or Dental Appointment Category

Description:

A one - digit element, to report the appointment category of the staff in the faculties of medicine (including veterinary medicine) and/or dentistry.

Notes:

Medical/dental teaching staff is defined as those who are teaching in department/programs which typically award/train students for either an MD or DDS degree (or post MD/DDS degrees). These staff should be coded as "0", "1" or "2". Please do not report other teaching staff who may be in the Faculty of Medicine or Dentistry who do not focus on the training of students in these fields (i.e. Nursing, Occupational Therapy etc.). All other teaching staff should be coded as "9" (non-medical /dental).

Code 0: Regular full-time (12 months) academic staff
This is a regular academic appointment similar to that in any other faculty. The appointee receives his full salary from the institution. This category usually applies to all basic medical science departments and to other medical or dental staff who are not engaged in private practice. It also includes those staff who are supported by research grants but whose income is administered by the university. These staff are expected to hold some teaching responsibilities.

Code 1: Geographic full-time (12 months) academic staff
This category applies to all medical and dental staff who are engaged in the practice of medicine as well as teaching (i.e. clinicians). Geographic full-time staff members usually receive an established percentage of their regular salary from the university and the remaining portion from provincial medical care institutions (e.g., hospitals) and/or medical care plans. In addition, they are entitled to earn an income (limited by a ceiling) for service to patients. The staff members are usually assigned to a specific hospital. Although they may receive only a percentage of their income from the university, they are counted as full-time members of the institution. Please include all clinicians in this category.

Code 2: Full-time (12 months) joint appointments
This category includes medical and dental staff who have received a letter of appointment from both the university and one of the teaching hospitals. Salaries are paid by both institutions at an agreed upon ratio.

Exclusions:

The following categories of medical staff are to be excluded from the survey:

  1. Major part-time
    These staff members spend approximately 50% of their time in a teaching hospital. Their offices are not located in the hospital and there is no ceiling on the income they earn from outside patients although there is a ceiling on the earnings made through the clinical teaching units.
  2. Part-time
    These staff members are usually community practitioners who do not receive a formal letter of appointment from the institution but rather are engaged by department heads as demonstrators or teaching assistants. These casual staff members may teach both graduate and undergraduate students, on an average of several hours per week, and also may be involved in clinical research.

Codes:

0. Regular full-time academic staff member

1. Geographic full-time academic staff member

2. Full-time joint appointment

9. Not applicable (staff member is not in a faculty of medicine or dentistry)

Element 26: Year of Appointment to Current Institution

Description:

A four - digit element to report the year of appointment (or reappointment) to a full-time position in a current institution.

Notes:

Please note that the service between the year reported in this element and the present year must be both full-time and uninterrupted (i.e., the staff member has not severed their connection with the institution during this period). Leave (sabbatical, leave of absence, etc.) should not be interpreted as interrupting the continuous service, i.e., when a staff member goes on leave, it does not change their year of appointment to the institution. Similarly, if a staff member assumes a non-academic position in the university for a period of time and then returns to teaching, the period spent in that position should not be interpreted as interrupting continuous service. However, during the time the person holds such a position they should not be reported as a full-time teacher.

It does not matter whether the staff member's appointment was originally temporary, probationary or permanent or has been a series of one-year contracts. As long as the employment has been continuous from year to year and full- time in each year, the year of appointment should be reported as the earliest year in which the staff member joined the institution on a full-time basis. For example, in year 1, a staff member held a full-time probationary appointment which was made permanent in year 2. Year 1 would be reported as the year of appointment.

For the staff member who was employed full-time (12 months) during the past, then, (1) severed his or her connection with the institution, or (2) they obtained a teaching position which is other than full-time (12 months), and was later re-hired to a full-time (12 months) position, the year of reappointment is the one that should be reported in this element.

Please note that the year of appointment to the institution (as reported in this element) cannot be later than the year of appointment to the present rank at current institution (element 23).

Codes:

Four - digits of the year the staff member was appointed (or reappointed) to the institution.

Element 27: Principal Subject Taught

Description:

A four - digit element describing the principal subject taught of the staff member.

Notes:

Please report using the CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code at the 4 - digit level. A numerical and alphabetical listing of programs is provided on the following pages. Please code this element according to the subject in which the staff member spends the largest portion of their teaching time.

For further assistance on determining the correct codes, please consult the full version of the CIP coding manual for a more detailed description or contact the UCASS team. Please note that the 2016 CIP codes are currently being used.

For staff members, who are on leave, please report the subject that they would have taught had the staff member been teaching.
