The BC Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU) and the BC Public Service Agency (PSA) continue to work as a Joint Technical Working Committee (JTWC) on the FLNRO appeals.
As many of you know by now, these appeals are taking longer to complete than originally expected. This is due to our extensive information gathering process and deliberations before making final and binding decisions. As a result of this timeline, the parties have agreed to not hold any further appeal meetings until we have been able to finalize more decisions for appeals which have already had the appeal meeting.
Note:
- If your appeal has already had an appeal meeting with the JTWC, we are working to finalize a decision as soon as possible, but we may not be able to finalize a decision before late autumn.
- If we have not yet contacted you to arrange an appeal meeting or sent you a formal Request for Information, we will likely not be able to proceed with your appeal until at least the late autumn or the New Year.
We appreciate your patience as we work through these appeals. Your retroactive pay, in the event of success, is protected through the previously agreed upon Memorandum of Agreement. Note: Retroactive pay calculations include all necessary pay adjustments while a member was occupying a reclassified position, including associated pension adjustments through the Public Service Pension Plan.
As we have previously said, if you retire or move to another position before your appeal is heard:
- Please keep the BCGEU up to date with your contact information AND
- Consider setting aside work examples that will demonstrate the highest level of complexity of your work. The best work examples will be narrative examples that are detailed, specific, practical and relevant to important aspects of your work under appeal.
- If you think you will need to refer to examples involving actual emails, reports etc., consider sending these in advance to the JTWC for us to access during the appeal, although we will be asking for specific information once we begin work on your appeal.
Below is the current status of appeals.
