EC Modernization Project
A new EC classification standard is being developed to replace the existing separate Economics, Sociology and Statistics (ES) and Social Science Support (SI) standards. A new classification standard has been drafted to reflect the EC group and is being tested by selected departments and the Public Service Human Resources Management Agency of Canada.
This site provides general information on the modernization of the EC Group.
More detailed information will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
If you have any questions, please contact your departmental classification representative.

Questions and Answers

Employees currently occupying positions classified using the ES and SI classification standards will be affected.

Conversion to the new EC classification standard will occur following bargaining of a new pay line with CAPE, the bargaining agent for the EC Group. The current EC collective agreement expires in June 2006.
- What will be the impact on individual employees once the new EC standard comes into force?
Once implemented, employees currently classified under the SI and ES classification standards will be converted to a new EC classification level. Pay rates for the new EC classification levels will be determined through collective bargaining.
