Every spring, the University adds up all of the CUPEU annual salaries that were in place on March 1 (the Mass salariale). The following June 1, an amount equal to half a percent of the Mass salariale is deposited into the fund. The following rules also apply:
up to 1/3 of unspent portion of annual fund may be rolled over to the following year
maximum fund value is 1% of the Mass salariale. Funds over that amount are returned to the University.
