Non-union Technicians and Research Assistants PD Fund: No further funding available this fiscal year

The annual funding pool for the Non-union Technicians and Research Assistants employee group has exhausted as of November 9 due to a high volume of PD Fund claims submitted by staff belonging to this particular employee group during the first half of the April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 funding year. 

This means that the PD Fund for Non-union Technicians and Research Assistants is now closed to submissions and no further PD Fund claims (expense reports or request forms) will be accepted or reimbursed through Workday from November 9, 2023 through March 31, 2024, which is the remainder of the current funding year.

The PD Fund for Non-union Technicians and Research Assistants will refresh and open again as of April 1, 2024, the start of the new funding year. At that time, staff may submit claims for PD Fund expenses incurred within 90 days of their claim submission date in Workday.  

Note: On April 1, 2024, expenses incurred between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2024 will be eligible to submit for reimbursement out of 2024/25 year’s funding provided the claim is submitted within 90 days of the original payment date.

This fund closure notice applies only to the Non-union Technicians and Research Assistants employee group. 

The PD Funds for all other staff employee groups are anticipated to accommodate claim submissions for the remainder of the current funding year.
