We’re happy to announce that your union bargaining association (the CSSBA) and the employers’ bargaining association (CSSEA) have come to an agreement on the Comparability and Classification Anomaly Wage Increases scheduled for April 1, 2017 in your collective agreement. (Appendix A1 in the General Services and Community Living Services collective agreements and Appendix A2 in the non-delegated classifications in the Aboriginal Services collective agreement)
We will continue to meet with the employer association to determine the amount of the future wage adjustments scheduled for April 1, 2018. Future compensation comparability and classification anomaly wage increases may result in different percentage increases for some classifications.
Comparability increases
These increases were designed to narrow the wage gap between wages in community social services and wages in community health.
The vast majority of classifications (job titles) will receive 2.5% in comparability wage adjustments.
There are three classifications that were already very close to the wage rates in community health. Those classifications are: Program Coordinator 1, Volunteer Coordinator and Crisis Line Coordinator. However, certain steps of those classifications were less in-line with community health wages, and will receive comparability wage adjustments.
Classification anomalies
Classifications that do not have a comparable position in community health will also be considered for comparability adjustments and are entitled to 2.5%.
Other increases
The bargaining associations have also agreed to allocate funds to the paraprofessional wage grid to address wage compression. The money allocated to specific grids will increase the wage spread between classifications, which will address inequities in wages.
