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.
2. In current dollars. To convert this current dollar data to constant dollar amounts for comparison over time, it is recommended that the Consumer Price Index be used. For the index and further details on converting see table F1.3 (in Education indicators in Canada: Report of the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program (PCEIP) 2007. Updated tables released May 1, 2009). Due to differences in the index chosen, converted data may not be directly comparable to that in PCEIP 2007.
3. Defined as the average salary of females as a percentage of the average salary of males.
4. Includes lecturers, instructors and other teaching staff such as coaches.
Notes: To ensure the confidentiality of responses, a random rounding process is applied to the data. Since the total and subtotals are independently rounded, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values.
