Policy statement

The rates of pay for excluded and unrepresented employees in those parts of the Public Service listed in Part I of Schedule I of the Public Service Staff Relations Act (PSSRA) are established by the Treasury Board pursuant to section 11 of the Financial Administration Act (FAA).

When persons are employed in a managerial or confidential capacity in an occupational group and level covered by a collective agreement and their rates of pay have not been specified by the Treasury Board, they will be paid at the rates of pay set out in the relevant collective agreement.

Certain collective agreements have provided for lump sum payments to employees in lieu of retroactive salary increases or as settlement bonuses. Unless otherwise directed by the Treasury Board, such lump sum payments are also to be paid to employees who are excluded from the collective agreement as managerial or confidential exclusions, although they are classified in an occupational group or level which is covered by the collective agreement.

Publication of rates of pay

Generally, the rates of pay for excluded and unrepresented employees are published in this document. When the rates of pay and salary administration instructions for excluded employees are identical to those of non-excluded employees, they appear in the relevant collective agreements.

The rates of pay for employees subject to collective bargaining appear in the collective agreements.

Progression of salaries beyond a salary barrier subject to certification of qualifications - Authority to certify

Certain groups and levels have pay scales or ranges in which there are barriers beyond which the salary of an employee may progress only after certification that the employee has attained the required qualifications.

The responsibility for determining the qualifications of an individual for appointment to a position in the Public Service is vested in the Public Service Commission. Where authority to staff positions has been delegated by the Commission to the deputy head of a department, the deputy head is responsible for determining an individual's qualifications and for certifying that the employee has attained the required qualifications.
