Update on Implementation of the New Collective Agreement

Further to our previous message, we want to provide additional context regarding the delay in updating the rates of pay in the system.

As noted in earlier communications, we had been informed by Treasury Board that pay rate changes would be updated for the July 31^st pay. This has not happened for most members, though the one-time $2,500 signing bonus should be reflected on this week’s pay.

We are now informed that the Pay Centre requires manual calculations to update the pay for most members. This directly contradicts information that they had previously supplied us.

Please be assured that we have been proactive in our efforts to move this matter forward, but we sometimes face conflicting information from Treasury Board and PSPC officials. We have been actively engaging with Treasury Board, PSPC, and with counsel to expedite the resolution of this issue.

Moving forward, we have scheduled regular bi-weekly meetings with Treasury Board to review progress until the full implementation is completed.

We continue to be fully committed to ensuring that the necessary adjustments are made in a timely manner and will keep you updated on any progress.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
