The PAM is being amended to include an updated section on the
Regulations Respecting Pay on Reclassification or Conversion. Since
Bulletin 49-87 is still in effect, it is being included on the TB site as a
supporting document to the examples in the section on reclassification and
conversion.
Date of issue: 22 December 1987
SUBJECT: Salary Protection Policy Interpretation Applicable to the
Reclassification or Conversion Regulations and PSAC/PIPS Memoranda of
Understanding
- The purpose of this bulletin is to clarify the application of the
expression "deemed to have retained for all purposes the former group
and level" as contained in paragraph 4, Part 1A of the Regulations
Respecting Pay on Reclassification or Conversion and in many of the
Memoranda of Understanding on the subject.
- Where the position is:
- reclassified or converted to a group and/or level having a lower
attainable maximum rate of pay, and
- represented by the same bargaining agent both before and after
downgrading, and
- subject to a Memorandum of Understanding providing salary protection
and containing the phrase "for all purposes,"
the incumbent of the position retains the rates of pay and all other
terms and conditions of employment applicable to the higher group and/or
level.
- In all other situations, on reclassification or conversion to a group
and/or level having a lower maximum rate of pay, the expression "for
all purposes" is applicable to the rates of pay only.
