Recoverable Salary Speed Codes

What is a Recoverable Salary Speed Code/Account?

Recoverable salary speed codes/accounts are used by the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry to recover funds (typically salaries or stipends) from the hospitals and/or other affiliate institutions.


In order for Schulich to recover these funds from the hospitals/Lawson, the steps outlined in this guide are required. Please select the Section which best applies to your hiring or fund change process.

The recoverable speed codes start with UW.
