Thinking about pursuing your Master's degree? Recently a member inquired as to how this might help her with salary improvement. The answer is:
Our collective agreement, under Article 5.09, provides an additional allowance of $1096.00 (effective September 2010) if you obtain a post-graduate degree at the Master level or above. However, the allowance is NOT applicable if you used the degree in any way to move you up a category rating (e.g., if you used part of the degree to move you from A3 to A4). If you are not at A4 and trying to use the degree to upgrade your category rating, you should apply to QECO for a re-evaluation as you finish courses and they will give you the information as to how many courses you'd need to get to the next category rating.
QECO uses a very specialized formula to determine how each member is rated, so it is impossible to speculate on what any given member might need to move up a category. You can find more information about QECO at www.qeco.on.ca and check out the previous post about QECO, by clicking on that subject in the right hand margin.
