Executive (EX) Group - Compensation Improvements - Effective April 1, 2002 |
Purpose
| 1) |
This document provides instructions for the
determination of individual salaries within the new salary ranges approved
by Treasury Board for members of the Executive Group, effective
April 1, 2002. |
A. Salary Increases
General
| 2) |
Effective April 1, 2002, salary ranges for the
Executive Group are increased by two point three percent (2.3%). Annex A
displays the new salary ranges for the group.
|
| 3) |
The salary to which the increase is to be
applied is the individual's base salary that was in effect on April 1,
2002, after any changes that resulted from the application of the
Performance Management Program for the 2001/2002 fiscal year.
|
| 4) |
Provided that performance of Ongoing
Commitments for the 2001 / 2002 fiscal period was assessed as
"Succeeded" or "Surpassed" or "Unable to
Assess", executives should maintain their positioning relative to the
job rate within the new salary ranges. With this approach, an individual
whose performance has been rated "Succeeded" or
"Surpassed" or "Unable to Assess", will receive a new
salary determined by increasing the existing salary by the full two point
three percent (2.3%) increase approved for the Executive Group.
|
Salary Treatment for "Did Not Meet"
| 5) |
Where the Executive's performance for Ongoing
Commitments was "Did Not Meet", the individual shall not receive
any salary increase. This may mean that an employee with this rating would
be paid below the new range minimum for the level. For example, an EX01
with a "Did Not Meet" performance rating for Ongoing Commitments
who is currently earning $82,700 on March 31, 2002 will continue to
be paid at that salary after April 1, 2002 even though the new
minimum for the EX01 level is $84,700. |
Salary Increases for Executives on Leave Without Pay (LWOP)
| 6) |
The salaries of Executives on LWOP should be
recalculated, for record purposes only, to maintain the same position
relative to the new job rate that existed within the old salary range. To
achieve this, departments should calculate the new salaries as if the
executive had received a "Succeeded" performance evaluation for
Ongoing Commitments and was therefore entitled to receive the full
percentage increase. |
Employees with Salary Protection or Salary Maintenance Status
| 7) |
For salary protection purposes, the new job
rate for employees who prior to January 1, 1992 were appointed to a lower
level non-Executive position from the former Senior Management Level (SM)
will be $87,700, which is 88% of the new EX01 job rate.
|
| 8) |
A variety of different authorities governing
salary protection and salary maintenance for members of the EX Group that
were implemented in the early 1990s remain in effect today.
|
| 9) |
Generally speaking, salary protection applies
to EXs who became surplus under the Work Force Adjustment Directive (WFAD)
before September 1992 or to EXs occupying positions that have been
reclassified to a lower level irrespective of the effective date of the
classification action. Salary maintenance affects EXs who became surplus
under the Executive Employment Transition (EET) policy after September
1992.
|
| 10) |
Detailed instructions for treatment of Executives
in salary protection/salary maintenance situations are available in the
Salary Administration Instructions for Performance
Management Program for the Executive (EX) Group – April 1, 2001 which
remain valid for the 2001/2002 application. |
Rounding of Salary Calculations
| 11) |
Note that all salary calculations should
reflect a practice of rounding to the nearest multiple of $100. In the
interests of ensuring consistency across the Public Service, departments
should adopt this approach. |
However, employees who have a "Succeeded" or better
rating for Ongoing Commitments shall receive at least the new minimum of the
new salary range. For example, an EX04 at $119,300 will move to the new
minimum of $122,100 even if the actual calculation produces an annual salary
of $122,000.
In addition, an employee whose salary is at the old job rate
(maximum) will move to the new job rate: e.g. an EX01 at $97,400 will move to
the new job rate of $99,700 even if the actual calculation produces an annual
salary of $99,600.
Questions related to the application of these compensation
changes should be referred to the staff of the Executive Management Policies
Directorate of the Treasury Board Secretariat at (613) 995-3146, (613) 943-9301 or (613)
943-5519.
