One long-standing feature of the Collective Agreement has been the Reduced Appointment Plan (RAP), which allows faculty members over 55 with at least 10 years of service to gradually downsize their careers by reducing to part-time without a corresponding reduction in benefits.

The Collective Agreement states “[e]mployees who wish to participate in the Reduced Appointment Plan should make application to their Department Head and Dean no less than six months prior to the date on which the reduced appointment is to become effective”.  If you would like assistance making an application, or if you have had difficulty with your application,  contact the Association and someone will be able to assist you.
