Compensation Directives

COMPENSATION COMMUNIQUÉ

April 30, 1999

SUBJECT: Compensation Directives

In response to the client community and in consultation with the Association of Compensation Managers, a Compensation Sector Web site was established in the fall of 1998. This site will ultimately contain the most widely-used compensation publications. Its implementation will improve the service given to clients. The quality of the materials delivered will be maintained, the timeliness within which documentation is received will be improved and the ease of use of the publications, through the installation of electronic links and search capabilities, will be facilitated. Our site is currently being redesigned as part of a departmental standardization exercise. The intent is to provide the same content but to change the appearance to be consistent with other sites within Government Operational Service Branch.

The Compensation Directives have been available electronically since October 30, 1998 and in order to reduce operating costs, a decision has been made to discontinue the printing of all future compensation directives effective June 1, 1999.

An exception will be made for those who cannot currently access our site:

If this applies to you, please inform us no later than May 14th so that your name is not removed from our distribution list. This notification can be sent by facsimile (819) 956-6484 or in writing to:

and must include the following in order to be processed:

We would ask that you indicate when you expect to have access to the Compensation Sector site so that we can set a review date.

In addition to the above, we wish to inform you that in future we will discontinue issuance of paper versions three months following the date of automation of each compensation manual. At that time, a request similar to this one will be sent to all individuals receiving the publication in question.
