Deals affect almost 30,000 employees: Treasury Board
The government reached five tentative agreements on May 28 with groups of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), the Association of Canadian Financial Officers (ACFO) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).
If ratified, the agreements will apply to close to 30,000 federal public service employees, said the Treasury Board.
The agreements cover a period of four years and include economic increases of two per cent for each of the first two years, and 1.5 per cent for each of the remaining two years of the agreements. These tentative agreements also include new measures to facilitate their implementation and to compensate employees who do not receive retroactive payments or salary increases within agreed-upon timelines, said the Treasury Board.
Other tentative provisions would reflect today’s demands on workers, including new caregiver leave and an extended period for parental leave to better align with Employment Insurance benefits, said the Treasury Board.
