Part 5 - Pay and Duration

Article 47 Pay Administration

47.01 Except as provided herein, the terms and conditions governing the application of pay to employees are not affected by this Agreement.

47.02 An employee is entitled to be paid for services rendered at:

1. the pay specified in Appendix "A" for the classification of the position to which he is appointed, if the classification coincides with that prescribed in his certificate of appointment;
   or
2. the pay specified in Appendix "A" for the classification prescribed in his certificate of appointment if that classification and the classification of the position to which he is appointed do not coincide.

47.03

1. The rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" shall become effective on the dates specified.
2. Where the rates of pay set forth in Appendix "A" have an effective date prior to the date of signing of this Agreement, the following shall apply:
   1. "retroactive period" for the purpose of subparagraphs (ii) to (v) means the period from the effective date of the revision up to and including the day before the collective agreement is signed or when an arbitral award is rendered therefor;
   2. a retroactive upward revision in rates of pay shall apply to employees, former employees or in the case of death, the estates of former employees who were employees in the bargaining unit during the retroactive period;
   3. for initial appointments made during the retroactive period, the rate of pay selected in the revised rates of pay is the rate which is shown immediately below the rate of pay being received prior to the revision;
   4. for promotions, demotions, deployments, transfers or acting situations effective during the retroactive period, the rate of pay shall be recalculated, in accordance with the Public Service Terms and Conditions of Employment Regulations, using the revised rates of pay. If the recalculated rate of pay is less than the rate of pay the employee was previously receiving, the revised rate of pay shall be the rate, which is nearest to, but not less than the rate of pay being received prior to the revision. However, where the recalculated rate is at a lower step in the range, the new rate shall be the rate of pay shown immediately below the rate of pay being received prior to the revision;
   5. no payment or no notification shall be made pursuant to paragraph 47.03(b) for one dollar ($1.00) or less.

47.04 Where a salary increment and a salary revision are effected on the same date, the salary increment shall be applied first and the resulting rate shall be revised in accordance with the salary revision.

47.05 When an employee is required by the Employer to perform the duties of a higher classification or grade level on an acting basis for a period of at least three (3) consecutive working days, he shall be paid acting pay calculated from the date on which he commenced to act as if he had been appointed to the higher classification level for the period in which he acts. When a day designated as a paid holiday occurs during the qualifying period, the holiday shall be considered as a day worked for purposes of the qualifying period.

47.06

1. Each pay increment period for all employees of levels CS-1 to CS-5 inclusive shall be twelve (12) months.
2. The pay increment date for an employee appointed on or after December 2, 1997, to a position in the bargaining unit on promotion, demotion, or appointment from outside the Public Service shall be the anniversary date of such appointment.
3. For employees appointed prior to December 2, 1997, their anniversary date will be the date on which the employee received his last pay increment.

47.07 With reference to Appendix "A", an employee shall, on the relevant effective dates of adjustments to rates of pay, be paid in the scale of rates at the rate shown immediately below his former rate.

47.08 This Article is subject to the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Employer and the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada dated July 21, 1982 in respect of red-circled employees.
