Reimbursement claim

If you are currently employed and have participated in one of our PSAC-led union training sessions, you are entitled to compensation for the hours missed, based on your regular hourly wage. To claim your loss of salary, please follow the steps outlined below.

Step 1: Getting Registered

Especially if this is your first time, you will need to have received a PSAC Member Id.

Note: If you did not receive one, please reach out to PSAC directly. (You find the contacts a the bottom of this page).

After you are sure you have a member ID, the next thing you have to to is getting registered at this link:
https://psacunion.ca/user

You’re going to select “Create an account” on the right side of the page.

From there, complete Step 1 by choosing your username, preferred email address, and password that you would use to access this account in the future.

Step 2: Starting with your Info

This passage will will require some precision. Here’s what you should use exactly:

First Name.

Last Name.

Postal Code.

For the remaining three boxes, you only have to fill in one.
PSAC ID.

Employer: leave blank

Email: leave blank.

Step 3: Filing the Claim

At some point you’ll get the option to be paid out by either a cheque or direct deposit.  DD is preferred on our end, but you’ll have to know your banking info and have a void cheque (I’m pretty sure a direct deposit or PAP form is okay too). Here’s how you make your way through the process for the training sessions:

Go to the PSAC website and log in your member profile.

Under the “Submit expense claim” tab at the top of the screen, there will be a drop-down menu where you will see the stewards training option. Select that and select continue.

Note: on the left-hand side you will see additional tabs, you have to go through each tab and enter the appropriate information (if applicable) and select continue.

Next tab is travel status, which none of you can claim so click continue.

Family Care = Continue.

Salary Entitlement – enter your SIN, in the drop-down menu for employer select “University of Lethbridge” if it is available, otherwise “New Employer”.

Under Classification/Level enter either GAT/GANT/GAR/casual whichever is appropriate for your job, you do not need to supply information for the other fields, select continue.

Expenses tab – you are unable to claim expenses so select continue.

Loss of Salary – The date should auto-populate for you,

Type = regular

Unit = Hourly

Hours = [insert # hours]

Rate = your specific rate, if you are a GAT, GANT, or GAR (paid by university) it is the total amount specified on your assignment of duties form divided by 112, which is the number of total hours you are supposed to work.  If you are a GAR (paid by researcher) or casual enter what is in your contract. In case you can write to HR and fill out a form to request a letter of confirmation of employment.

Click continue.

This will take you to the summary page where you can review the information, add a void cheque or DD/PAP info if necessary, and submit it!

You may get a follow-up at some point asking for information to verify the rate you provided. For any other query contact our regional representative, Lindsey Sparks (parksL@psac-afpc.com). Otherwise, feel free to reach out to the PSAC Administrative Assistant at the Manitoba Regional Office Tesla Le Saux (lesauxt@psac-afpc.com)
