SUBJECT: Rates of Pay - SG PAT 08

At the meeting of May 31, 2001, Treasury Board Ministers approved a proposal that restores salary relativity between collectively bargained employees of the Scientific Regulation Group, Patent Sub-Group, and senior level excluded employees at the SG PAT 08 level.

Details of the plan are as follows:

1. The addition of a new rate of pay above the current maximum rate of pay of the senior level excluded Scientific Regulation Group, Patent Sub-group, (SG PAT 08), effective on October 1, 1998, October 1, 1999, October 1, 2000 and October 1, 2001.

2. An economic increase for employees of the senior level excluded Scientific Regulation Group, Patent Sub-group, (SG PAT 08), equal to the economic increase percentages approved for employees of the Scientific Regulation Group, Patent Sub-group of the Applied Science and Engineering (AP) bargaining unit effective October 1, 1998 (2.0%) (applicable to the new step only), October 1, 1999 (2.0%), October 1, 2000 (2.5%) and October 1, 2001 (2.5%).

3. The deletion of the minimum rate of pay in the scale of rates of the senior level excluded Scientific Regulation Group, Patent Sub-group, (SG PAT 08), effective on October 1, 1999, October 1, 2000 and October 1, 2001.

4. The introduction of a terminable allowance in the amount of $14,064 per annum for employees of the senior level excluded Scientific Regulation Group, Patent Sub-group, (SG PAT 08), effective October 1, 2000 and calculated the same as that approved for collectively bargained employees of the Patent Sub-group of the Scientific Regulation Group.

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

Attached as ANNEX "A" you will find the revised pay scale and applicable pay notes governing the implementation of the new pay structure.

ANNEX "B" provides additional information in relation to the terminable allowance.
