| Attached is an amendment to the definition for the Ship Repair Group
approved under TB 797233, effective 1 March 1985.
At conversion, a separate group was created for employees of National
Defence engaged in Ship Repair at the Halifax and Esquimalt Dockyards. The main reasons for a separate group
were the long history of labour/management relations between the employing department and the Dockyard
Trades and Labour Council and traditional pay relativities. Other positions engaged in the repair of ships were allocated to the General
Labour and Trades Group.
This amendment clarifies the application of the classification
standards.
Departments are requested to make any additional copies required as the
standard is not scheduled for republishing.

INTRODUCTION
This standard describes the rating plans to be used to
evaluate positions allocated to the Ship Repair Group. In
consists of an introduction, definitions of the Operational
Category, the occupational group and sub-groups, a basic
point-rating plan for all positions at or below the Charge hand
level including bench-mark position descriptions, and a level
description rating plan for all management excluded
positions.
The level description method of classification is a
non-quantitative method of determining the relative difficulty of
jobs. The level descriptions are reflective of the demands of
jobs found at each level.
All methods of job evaluation require the exercise of
judgement and the orderly collection and analysis of information
in order that consistent judgements can be made. The point-rating
method facilitates rational discussion and resolution of
differences in determining the relative values of jobs.
Sub-grouping
This occupational group is divided into 19 sub-groups, which
are defined in the standard.
Factors
The combined factors do not necessarily describe all aspects
of jobs. They deal only with those characteristics that can be
defined and distinguished and that are useful in determining the
relative values of jobs.
Four factors are used in the basic plan. Each factor is
defined in terms of related elements.
Point Values
The maximum point value assigned to each factor in the basic
plan reflects its relative importance. Similarly, point values
have been assigned to the degrees of the elements in the basic
plan.
In the basic plan, the point values for the degrees of the
elements of each factor increase arithmetically. With two
exceptions, the minimum point value assigned to each element is
one-fifth of the maximum. In the Hazards element of the Working
Conditions factor, the minimum point value is one-tenth of the
maximum. In the Specific Vocational Training element of the Skill
and Knowledge factor the minimum point value is one-fifteenth of
the maximum.
Rating Plans (trade)
in the basic rating plan following factors,
elements, weights and point values are used:

Supervisory
In the supervisory rating plan, positions are
evaluated by comparing the duties and responsibilities with the
level descriptions.
Bench-mark
Bench-mark positions descriptions are used to
exemplify degrees of elements. Each descriptions consists of a
brief summary, a list of the principal duties with the
percentage of time devoted to each, and a specification
describing each of the elements as it appears in the position.
The bench-mark positions have been evaluated , and the degree
and, where applicable, the point values assigned to each element
are shown in the specifications.
The rating scales identify the bench-mark
position descriptions that exemplify each degree. These
descriptions are an integral part of the rating plans and are
used to ensure consistency in applying the rating scales.
Use of the Standard
There are eight steps in the application of
this standard.
1. Allocation of the position to the category
and the group is confirmed by reference to the definitions and
the descriptions of inclusions and exclusions.
2. Allocation of the position to the
sub-group is confirmed by reference to the sub-group definitions
and to the bench-mark position descriptions.
3. The position description is studied to
ensure understanding of the position as a whole and its relation
to positions with similar duties and to positions above and below
it in the organization.
4. The tentative degree of each element in the position
being rated is determined by comparison with degree definitions
in the rating scales. The Specific Vocational Training and the
Resources elements do not have degree definitions, and for these
the tentative degree is determined by the comparative ranking of
the position being rated with the bench-mark positions.
5. The description of the element in each of
the bench-mark positions exemplifying the degree tentatively
established is compared with the description of the element in
the position being rated. Comparisons are also made with
descriptions of the element in bench-mark positions for the
degrees above and below the one tentatively established.
6. The point values for all elements are
added to determine the tentative total point rating in the basic
plan.
7. The position being rated is compared as a
whole to positions in the same sub-group or in other sub-groups
to which similar total point values and degree co-ordinates have
been assigned, as a check on the validity of the total
rating.
8. The supervisory position must meet the
sub-group definition and the level determinants.
Determination of Levels
The ultimate objective of job evaluation is the determination
of the relative values of positions in each occupational group or
sub-group. Non-supervisory positions that fall within a
designated range of points in terms of the point values assigned
using the basic plan will be regarded as of equal difficulty and
will be allocated to the same level.
CATEGORY DEFINITION
Occupational categories were repealed by the Public Service Reform Act (PSRA),
effective April 1, 1993. Therefore, the occupational category definitions have
been deleted from the classification standards.
GROUP DEFINITION
For occupational group allocation, it is recommended that you use the Occupational
Group Definition Maps, which provide the 1999 group definition and their
corresponding inclusion and exclusion statements. The maps explicitly link the
relevant parts of the overall 1999 occupational group definition to each
classification standard.
SUB-GROUP DEFINITIONS
1. Elemental
The performance of routine duties where
adherence to rigid standards or specifications is not
required and where little or no latitude exists for
judgement.
This sub-group includes such occupations as labourer, and
trades helper.
2. Machine Tending
The performance of duties that require
starting, stopping and observing the functioning of machines and

equipment.
This sub-group includes such occupations as air-compressor
operator and sandblast operator.
3. Manipulating
The performance of duties that require the
dexterous use of hands, hand tools
or special devices to work, move, guide or
place objects or materials where some latitude exists for
judgement in selecting appropriate tools, objects, or materials,
in determining work procedure and conformance to standard, and in
improvising to meet special conditions, although all of these
requirements are fairly obvious. The work most frequently occurs
away from a machine-oriented environment and is prevalent in
bench-crafts and structural work.

SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE
This factor is used to measure the basic knowledge,
comprehension and judgement, and specific vocational training
required to perform the duties.
Definitions
"Basic knowledge" refers to the language, mathematical and
other requirements of the work.
"Comprehension and judgement" refers to the need to understand
instructions and principles and to make judgements.
"Specific vocational training" refers to the relative amount
of training required to learn the techniques and develop the
facility to perform the duties of the position.
"A set of relevant principles and methods" used in the
Comprehension and Judgement element refers to the general facts
and rules governing the working of a machine or a system, or the
properties of substances and materials, and the systematic and
regular ways of achieving desired results.
Notes to Ratters
The skill and knowledge to which the Basic Knowledge and the
Comprehension and Judgement elements refer is acquired by various
combinations of formal and private study and experience.
In rating positions under the Comprehension and Judgement
element raters are
to consider the understanding needed, the nature of the
guide-lines, instructions, principles and practices that govern
the work, and the latitude allowed in their interpretation.
The skill and knowledge to which the Specific Vocational
Training element refers is acquired by one or more of the
following means:
1. Vocational education in a technical school or vocational
institute.
2. Apprentice training for apprenticeable jobs.
3. In-plant training given by an employer in the form of
organized study.
4. On-the-job training under the instruction of qualified
workers.
5. Training in related work that has provided the essential
skill and knowledge.
As the first four degrees of the Specific Vocational Training
element imply relatively short periods and the last five degrees
imply relatively long periods, two separate arithmetic
progressions are used to reflect the difference.
The degrees of the Specific Vocational Training element that
are assigned
to the bench-mark positions have been established by the
comparative ranking of key positions in the occupational group.
The degree tentatively selected in rating a position is to be
confirmed by direct comparison of the position being rated with
the duties and specifications of the bench-mark positions.

RESPONSIBILITY
This factor is used to measure the responsibility for
resources used and for the safety of others.
Definition
"Responsibility for safety of others" refers to the
responsibility for the exercise of care to prevent injury to
other people, and the usual extent of that injury.
Notes to Ratters
The degrees of the Resources element that are assigned to the
bench-mark positions have been established by the comparative
ranking of key positions in the occupational group. In selecting
a tentative rating for a position under this element the
following characteristics of the work are to be considered:
1. The nature and value of the resources used.
2. The extent to which the description of the position
implies accountability.
3. The consequences of an error in judgement.
Any one of these characteristics is only an indication of the
degree of responsibility in this element, and the whole context
within which the work is performed is to be considered. The degree tentatively
selected for a position is to be confirmed by direct comparison
of the position being rated with the duties and specifications of
the bench-mark positions.
In rating positions under the Safety of Others element only
the injuries that are probable are to be considered, and not
those that are only remotely possible.

WORKING CONDITIONS
This factor is used to measure the disagreeable conditions of
the work as indicated by the environment in which the duties are
performed and the exposure to hazards.
Definitions
"Environment" refers to the disagreeable conditions under
which the duties are performed such as
- exposure to dust and dirt, or to extremes of heat, cold,
obnoxious odours, noise, wet or vibration,
- the required wearing of cumbersome protective clothing or
equipment.
"Hazards" refers to the requirement to work under conditions
that may result in sickness or injury to the employee, although
usual safety measures have been taken.
Notes to Ratters
In rating positions under the Environment element only those
conditions that make the work disagreeable are to be considered.
Ratters are to consider the frequency of the exposure and the
severity of the disagreeable conditions.
In rating positions under the Hazards element only the hazards
that are probable are to be considered, and not those that are
only remotely possible. Ratters are to consider the frequency of
the exposure and the probable severity of the injury.

Severance Pay on Rejection for Cause
(1) An excluded employee who was about to be laid off but
instead was immediately reappointed, and then subsequently
ceases to be employed by reason of rejection for cause during the
probationary period immediately following the date of his
reappointment, shall be paid severance pay as provided for an
employee who is laid off. The severance pay to which an excluded
employee is entitled under this paragraph shall be calculated
on the rate that he was entitled to on the day immediately
prior to his reappointment.
(2) An excluded employee who has two or more years of
continuous employment and who ceases to be employed for reason of
rejection for cause during the probationary period immediately
following his transfer or promotion may, at the discretion of the

number of completed years of his continuous employment (to a
maximum of twenty-six years less any period in
respect of which he was granted severance pay, retiring leave
or a cash gratuity in lieu of retiring leave).
As a guide in determining whether or not severance pay is
warranted under this provision, it is suggested that there must
be clear evidence of inability to cope with the work because of
intellectual or physical limitations and not because of lack of
willingness, motivation, or other reasons.
44E For Severance Pay purposes the weekly rate of pay
shall not include "Acting Pay" unless the deputy head certifies
that the duties in respect of which the employee is being paid
"Acting Pay" were assigned to him on a continuing basis or for a
period of more than two (2) months.
