As indicated in the last update published on our site in September 2024, the hearing of the policy grievance, filed on March 29, 2019, did take place, in person in Ottawa, on Thursday, September 12, 2024, before the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS).

At the hearing, we agreed to extend the response deadline by 30 days, given the wealth of information TBS would have to analyze. The original deadline of October 28, 2024, was therefore extended to December 10, 2024. As agreed, CEIU made regular contact with the TBS.

On December 5, at another CIEU follow-up, the TBS indicated that work on this file is progressing. However, they have to ask for an extension given the work in progress. We agreed to extend the deadline to January 24, 2025.

It should be remembered that this policy grievance concerns two different groups of employees giving effect to the EDSC decisions of February 22, 2019:

• Current incumbents (since or after September 13, 2018) of pension and integrity operations, who are affected by the new job description for the Program Services Officer (PM-01) position. Those who had not filed a grievance. Although the employees in question have since received their salary adjustments, many of them have only received part of their retroactive payments.
  
  
• Employees who did not file a grievance regarding the content of the job description for their CPPS position between 2008 and September 13, 2018, who performed the duties of Program Services Officer (PM-01) of Pension or Integrity Operations and who left their position before September 13, 2018.

CEIU will issue a new update when it receives the TBS decision.
