On February 25, 2004, the government announced the mandatory publication of information concerning the reclassification of occupied positions in the Public Service of Canada.
This web site provides information on the reclassification of occupied positions in Transport Canada as well as all other department and agencies on a quarterly basis.
The rules and principles governing the reclassification of occupied positions are outlined in the Public Service Human Resources Management Agency of Canada (PSHRMAC) Guidelines on Reclassification These guidelines provide Deputy Heads with a framework within which to exercise their delegated classification authority for the reclassification of existing positions.
The following are some of the reasons that the duties of a position change resulting in a possible reclassification of the position:
Changes to departmental/program mandate; Managers reorganize in response to external conditions that increase or decrease available resources; Managers reorganize to make more efficient and effective use of their financial and human resources, such as technology innovations, changes in employee competencies; or Managers reassign work among their existing human resources to increase productivity, such as in response to vacancies that require temporary or permanent reassignment of work; Results from a classification grievance.
Reclassification of occupied positions in the Public Service of Canada is an important and necessary business management option. However, when contemplating changes to a position that may result in reclassification, management must endeavour to ensure the proper, effective and efficient use of public money. The cost implication associated with upward reclassification must be known, transparent and support accountability for classification decisions.
To locate hyperlinks of other departments and agencies web sites on disclosure of Position reclassification visit Government-Wide Position Reclassification Departmental Web Site. Information on these government websites are updated every three months.
Please note that information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act does not appear on this web site.
