Compensation Improvement Instructions -
Executive (EX) Group and certain other Excluded Groups and Levels, April 1,
2003
Detailed instructions for salary increases for the Executive (EX)
Group, effective April 1, 2003 were approved. These salary increases are based
on recommendations contained in the Sixth Report of the Advisory Committee on
Senior Level Retention and Compensation (Stephenson Committee). The Treasury
Board has approved salary range increases of 2.5% for members of the Executive
(EX) and Deputy Minister (DM) Groups.
In addition, the salaries of employees classified in groups and levels
which are benchmarked to the EX Group salary ranges or salary increases, i.e.
Defence Scientists (DS) 7A, 7B and 8, Lawyers (LA) 3A, 3B, and 3C, Mediation
Conciliation Officers in Sector 4, Senior Officers of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (Chief Superintendent, Assistant Commissioner and Deputy
Commissioner ranks), and Senior Officers of the Canadian Forces (Colonel,
Brigadier-General, Major-General and Lieutenant-General ranks), should also be
revised based on these increases.
Departments should also note that effective April 1, 2003 the EX Group and
by extension, those groups and levels that follow the Terms and Conditions of
Employment for Executives, have been granted one day of paid Personal Leave
per fiscal year, to be taken at the discretion of the employee, subject to
operational requirements. This leave cannot be carried over from one
fiscal year to the next.
Since salary adjustments for these groups and levels are not automated,
departments should apply the attached instructions as soon as possible, after
the application of the Performance Management Programme for fiscal year
2002-2003. Please note that the Salary Administration Policy for the
Executive Group, which became effective September 1, 2002, includes as
Appendix B the Instructions for the Administration of Performance Awards
for PMP for the EX Group.
