1. Excludes staff who have been on unpaid leave; all religious and military personnel or similar staff paid according to salary scales lower than those applying to lay staff; staff having a salary of zero or not reported.B26
2. Defined as the average salary of females as a percentage of the average salary of males.
3. Includes lecturers, instructors and other teaching staff such as coaches. In PCEIP 2007, this category was combined with "assistant professors" to form "other ranks".
Notes: To ensure the confidentiality of responses, a random rounding process is applied to the data. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values, since the total and subtotals are independently rounded. In addition, the revisions to information published in PCEIP 2007 required new random rounding of all figures; therefore, these figures may differ slightly from those published in the PCEIP 2007 table. Revised figures for average salary now include University of Saskatchewan in Saskatchewan.
