Postdoctoral Fellow Compensation Plans

Postdoctoral research fellow appointments at UBC need to have compensation recorded in Workday and will be in one or a combination of the following earnings types:

  • General Salary Plan:  Where the supervising faculty member’s grant is providing compensation.
  • Faculty & Postdoc Fellowship: For fellowship funds that are paid via UBC.
  • External Allowance:  For any funds that are paid directly to the postdoc from the funding source.

Compensation needs to be recorded in Canadian dollars and as the monthly amount.  These are the defaults in Workday and should not be adjusted.

It is also possible for a full-time postdoctoral fellow to receive honoraria earnings for additional duties, either as a payment paid over a period of time or as a lump sum. 

Postdoctoral teaching fellows receive General Salary Plan earnings.

In Workday the whole range of compensation plans are available for selection, but not all apply to postdoc appointments. Only the ones noted above should be selected for Postdocs and selecting other compensation plans may have an effect on taxes and other deductions, and depending on the time of year a correction may not be able to be processed.
