Compensation Improvements - Career Assignment Programme (CA) Group

The Treasury Board has authorized salary range adjustments for employees in the Career Assignment Programme (CA) Group, levels 1 & 2 as follows:

1) in addition to previously approved and implemented increase of 2.5%, a restructuring, effective June 22, 2000;

2) an increase of 2.5% effective June 22, 2001; and

3) an increase of 2.5% effective June 22, 2002.

Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) has been advised to proceed with the implementation of the revised rates.

As CA-01 and CA-02 have only a range minimum and maximum, it will be necessary to complete a pay transaction for each employee paid within that range. Please refer to the pay instructions for details.

The Treasury Board has also previously authorized the discontinuance of the Lajoie or better application of retroactive revised rates of pay for all excluded and unrepresented employees who were promoted, transferred, or deployed, or who commenced acting pay during a retroactive period (Lajoie decision Federal Court of Appeal decision 149 N.R.223). Retroactive calculations are to be performed according to Lajoie only. Please see Information bulletin dated January 21, 2001 and a letter from Mr. T. Smith, Director, Pay Administration, Labour Relations Division, TBS dated July 27, 1999, to Compensation Managers and Chiefs of Staff Relations on this subject.

Treasury Board Ministers have also approved revisions to the application of performance pay for the CA Group. Departmental budget limits have been lifted including the elimination of the "sliding scale" for determination of performance award budgets in smaller departments (less than 20 employees). Please refer to the CA Group Salary Administration Plan.

Questions on the application of these increases should be referred to Norris Charles at (613) 946-4674, Excluded Groups Compensation Directorate.
