DISCLOSURE OF POSITION RECLASSIFICATIONS
On February 25, 2004, the
government announced the mandatory publication of information concerning the
reclassification of occupied positions in the Public Service of Canada.
This web site provides
information on reclassification of positions within DFO on a
quarterly basis. Starting in October 2004, this information will be updated
every 3 months.
The rules and principles
governing the reclassification of occupied positions are outlined in the
Guidelines on Reclassification These guidelines provide Deputy Heads with a
framework within which to exercise their delegated classification authority for
the reclassification of existing positions.
The following are some of the
reasons that the duties of a position change resulting in a reclassification of
the position:
- Changes to departmental/program mandate;
- Managers reorganize in response to external
conditions that increase or decrease available resources;
- Managers reorganize to make more efficient and
effective use of their financial and human resources, such as technology
innovations, changes in employee competencies; or
- Managers reassign work among their existing human
resources to increase productivity, such as in response to vacancies that
require temporary or permanent reassignment of work;
- Results from a classification grievance.
Reclassification of
positions in the Public Service of Canada is an important and necessary business
management option. However, when contemplating changes to a position that may
result in reclassification, management must endeavour to ensure the proper,
effective and efficient use of public money. The cost implication associated
with upward reclassification must be known, transparent and support
accountability for classification decisions. Please note that information that
would normally be withheld under the
Access to Information Act or the
Privacy Act does not appear on this web site.
