The lump sum would include $1100 for salary plus the amount of the final agreed upon housing and transportation stipends combined, less the housing and transportation stipends paid at the beginning of the year. At time of this writing, based on the UWHA\u2019s latest proposal, that amount would be $4200. Therefore the total lump sum paid to each resident upon ratification would be $5300.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Childcare <\/strong>\u2013 The Union proposed to maintain the existing childcare fund at $50,000 per year and the UWHA would be responsible for determining eligibility criteria for appropriations to residents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>U-PASS<\/strong> \u2013 The Union proposed that the bike program would expire on June 30, 2020 and beginning on July 1, 2020, a fully subsidized U-PASS would be provided to residents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Away Rotation <\/strong>\u2013 The Union maintained its proposal that residents travelling to an away rotation more than 50 miles from their primary work site would be placed on a travel status and receive reimbursement for lodging, mileage, and gasoline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Housing Stipend<\/strong> \u2013 The Union proposed that the housing stipend would be $6,000 per year, paid in the first month of each academic year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moonlighting <\/strong>\u2013 The Union maintained its interest to incorporate much of the existing policy into the CBA with slight modifications, while the Employer prefers a simplified article and standalone policy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Professional Development <\/strong>\u2013 The Union proposed to maintain professional development funds at the current rate of $350 per year as a reimbursement, but allow rollover of unused funds up to $2,000.
