Consultations with the Employer

Occupational Group Structure Review

As part of the PA Renewal exercise being undertaken by the Treasury Board, various departments are providing the Union with updated Job Descriptions that will be mapped to the new PA Classification Standard.  We are seeking input from our members in those departments, who perform the applicable positions, to assist us in providing feedback on the accuracy of the content of the job descriptions.  Included with each group of job descriptions is a feedback form to guide members in the review, to ensure we are provided with the most pertinent and important information to aid in our consultation.

If your department and work classification has been identified, we invite you to provide your feedback by the stated deadlines to your RVP.

Treasury Board has undertaken a large-scale review of its classification standards and group structures – some of which date back as far as 1965 – in an effort to harmonize the compensation and recognition of work done by members of the Public Service, and to better align working groups by commonalities.  Part of this exercise involves the review and updating of all job descriptions within a current bargaining group.

The process to complete the Occupational Group Structure for the PA group has been postponed until October 2024. USJE has requested from the employers we represent to provide us with the proposed job descriptions for consultation with the membership as the process continues.

To assist USJE in our efforts to ensure that your job descriptions are accurate and truly reflective of the important work you do, we will need help from you, our members!
