The salary for different positions vary depending on factors such as their responsibilities, level of accountability and the extent of their supervisory role. Salaried employees are also remunerated for completing transition duties, including on-the-job training with their predecessor. A portion of one’s salary is contigent upon completion of transition duties at the end of their term, ae EM eEURT eee Sect iee Although the AMS recommends that its salaried employees take a reduced course load to. relieve the pressure of balancing their academic and AMS commitments, the organization is fully accommodating of all class times, exam periods and extenuating circumstances. Salaried employees who work 30 or more hours/week are required to be enrolled in at least one course per term, while salaried positions less than 30 hours/week must be enrolled in at least 60% of a full course load as determined by your program. All salaried staff must fulfill these requirements both at the time you apply and whilst employed. Although some of our employees choose to take an extra year to complete their studies, many of those who have held salaried AMS positions have graduated in four years. Since salaried 12-month positions allow employees to take summer courses to supplement a course reduction during the year, graduating on time is achievable. (TMT) CMC eR UCU Cet le eet ee You can apply to more than one salaried position by submitting a separate application for each, however you are only permitted to hold one paid position within the AMS at one time (this includes part-time positions and/or honorarium positions). For Council applications, which include Commissioners and Service Directors, you can apply to a maximum of two positions. There is no limit set out in AMS policy for other salaried positions, however please note that for ALL salaried positions, the hiring committee may ask whether you would like to be considered for any other role. The hiring committee may choose to offer the position to an applicant who did not specifically apply for the position in question remWhen and how will hiring take place? Hiring for salaried positions always begins immeadiately following elections in late January/ early February. This is the ideal time to speak with the incoming supervisor before you submit your application. Once you've decided on the position that suits you, we ask each person to wite a proposal detailing what ideas and initatives they have for the position. The hiring committee will read these over before your interview, which will likely take place within a week of the application deadline. Applications will be made available two weeks before the deadline at www.myAMS.org/apply. CLs ad The AMS offers positions ranging from 12-7 months. Twelve month positions begin on May 1st and require employees to be in Kingston during the summer months. The AMS does not offer strictly summer positions; all positions in the summer continue through until April 30th. The one exception to this is the Orientation Roundtable Coordinator, as it is a volunteer position in the Fall and Winter semesters and a salaried position from May to August. The ORT Coordinator is hired in October or early November of each year.
