Compensation Analysis and Research

The PSLRB’s Compensation Analysis and Research Services (CARS) division supports the collective bargaining and compensation determination processes in the Public Service of Canada and contributes to the promotion of harmonious labour-management relations by: 

• conducting compensation surveys;
  
• compiling and analysing compensation-related data;
  
• providing compensation information to the parties and to the public;
  
• conducting market-based research as directed by the Chairperson of the PSLRB 

In the fulfillment of our mission, we will strive to be recognized as an authoritative and comprehensive source of information on compensation-related matters by all the parties involved in collective bargaining in the federal public service.  We will keep in touch with our clients, our stakeholders and our partners to ensure the relevance of all our programs and activities.

We have a responsibility to keep our finger on the pulse of the compensation field and related developments and to keep the parties to bargaining and Canadians informed. 

Accuracy, integrity, timeliness, confidentiality, objectivity and impartiality are among the values which guide the ongoing activities of the CARS team.
