Modernizing the public service classification system...

Modernization of HR management also requires modernization of the classification system.  This process of Classification Modernization was started in 2002-03 and will continue incrementally over the next four to five years.

Because this large undertaking must be aligned with compensation policies and must operate as a coordinated element of the employer's collective bargaining objectives and schedule, it requires the involvement of Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) and Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). In addition, ongoing consultations must be held with departments, agencies, bargaining agents, professional associations and, where applicable, the Office of the Auditor General.

The result will be a modernized system with direct linkages to performance management, competency practices and compensation. This system will reflect new labour market realities, ensure equitable treatment and improve recruitment and retention efforts while supporting effective operationalization of the PSMA.
