ARCHIVED - Economic Increases for PE and OM Groups

This page has been archived.

March 6, 2002

The Treasury Board has authorized salary range adjustments for employees in the Personnel Administration (PE) Group, levels 1-6 and the Organization and Methods (OM) Group levels 1-5 as follows:

1. a pay adjustment of 1.7% effective October 1, 2001;
2. an increase of 2.8% effective October 1, 2001; and
3. an increase of 2.5% effective October 1, 2002.

These are specified in Annexes A and B. The Treasury Board also approved lump-sum payments as set out in Appendix C.

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has been advised to proceed with the implementation of the revised rates.

Those ranges, which consist of fixed steps will be implemented automatically by PWGSC on the appropriate dates. For those levels where only a range minimum and maximum have been provided, it will be necessary to complete a pay transaction for each employee paid within that range.

At the same time, the Treasury Board has also authorized the discontinuance of the Lajoie or better application of retroactive revised rates of pay for all excluded and unrepresented employees who were promoted, transferred, or deployed, or who commenced acting pay during a retroactive period (Lajoie decision Federal Court of Appeal decision 149 N.R.223). Retroactive calculations are to be performed according to Lajoie only. Please see Information bulletin dated January 21, 2001 and a letter from Mr. T. Smith, Director, Pay Administration, Labour Relations Division, TBS dated July 27, 1999, to Compensation Managers and Chiefs of Staff Relations on this subject.

Questions on the application of these increases should be referred to Daniel Ménard at 946-6184, Executive and Excluded Groups, Human Resources Branch.

PAY NOTES

For employees at the PE-6 level refer to the Salary Administration Policy for Certain Non-Management Category Senior Excluded levels Appendix "A" Section 4.

4. Salary Range Revision

The salary ranges for each of the affected groups and levels consists of a minimum and a job rate (maximum) with movement through the salary range bases solely on assessed performance. Salary ranges may be adjusted periodically pursuant to a decision of the Treasury Board.

4.1 Salary treatment for "unsatisfactory" performance

Unless otherwise advised, departments will not apply any range revisions to the salary of an employee whose performance is assessed as "unsatisfactory".

4.2 Salary treatment for "satisfactory" performance

An employee whose performance is assessed as "satisfactory" will not progress beyond a rate of pay which is 96 percent of the job rate. In the event that an application of the full range adjustment would produce a salary greater than 96 percent of the job rate, an adjustment smaller than the full amount should be given so as to reposition the employee's salary at the appropriate point in the range within a reasonable period of time.

4.3 Employee on leave without pay

An employee who is granted leave without pay for any period remains an employee.

The salary of an employee on such leave should be adjusted from time to time. Normally, adjustments will occur when salary range revisions are approved for the applicable group and level. Unless otherwise specified by the TBS, the employees will be accorded the same treatment as if rated fully satisfactory. However, these employees will not be counted in the total population for purposes of calculating the payroll or the percentage rated above fully satisfactory.

All periods of leave without pay count towards pensionable service and contributions must be made in respect of such leave. Contributions should be based on the salary calculated as indicated.

4.4 Employees receiving acting pay

While in receipt of acting pay, an employee is eligible to receive revisions to the salary range for the acting level.

Employees in receipt of acting pay remain subject to the non-pay terms and conditions of employment governing their substantive level position.
