Administrative Stipends:
Faculty Members who teach in the Joint Faculty and who are Chairpersons of a Dalhousie department shall be paid an administrative stipend for such duties in accordance with rates established by Dalhousie. This stipend shall be added to their regular salary and paid monthly over the period during which they serve as Chairperson.
If for any reason the Human Resources & Compensation Officer is not aware of or does not have the information in time to process the stipend with the members regular salary for the month, then any past due amounts will be paid with the next regular monthly salary payment.
Payment shall cease when the appointment as Chairperson ends, except when the member has served as Chairperson for six to eight consecutive years (not including sabbatical leaves) in which case one half of the stipend shall continue as part of the member’s regular salary, or when the member has served as chairperson for at least nine consecutive years, in which case the full stipend shall continue and be part of the member’s regular salary. In no case, however, shall the member’s regular salary in the year the Member ceased to be Chairperson, be less than the regular salary plus the administrative stipend of the preceding year.
Acting Chairperson shall be paid a stipend on the same bases as Chairpersons.
Honorariums:
Directors (or Acting Directors) of Academics Programmes at King’s who do not reduce their teaching loads but offer to teach the regular number of courses shall be paid an honorarium for such duties in accordance with rates established by King’s. This honorarium shall be added to their regular salary and paid monthly over the period during which they serve as Director.
If for any reason the Human Resources & Compensation Officer is not aware of or does not have the information in time to process with the members regular salary for the month, then any past due amounts will be paid with the next regular monthly salary payment.

Honorariums for Faculty members who are regular full time or regular part time Faculty members at King’s will be paid along with the regular monthly salary, and are to be reported to the Human Resources Officer in the Bursar’s Office. Honorariums to others, i.e. to individuals who are not regular full time or regular part time Faculty at King’s will be paid through accounts payable and a T4A will be issued to the individual.
