PSAC proposes a Recruitment and Retention Allowance for Compensation and Benefits workers
PSAC's PA bargaining team has tabled a proposal with Treasury Board to recognize the work of our AS group members who perform compensation and benefit duties.
The Recruitment and Retention Allowance proposal is an annual allowance to be paid bi-weekly, retroactive to June 21, 2007. The purpose of the allowance is to reduce recruitment and retention problems and recognize the currently under-valued work of these members.
This allowance has been tabled with Treasury Board as part of a comprehensive wage package for the PA unit. Details of the wage proposal will be issued with the bargaining team report in the near future.
