What it does

The Employee Relations and Total Compensation (ERTC) Sector negotiates terms and conditions of employment and equips departments and agencies to meet their labour relations, classification and compensation management accountabilities. ERTC supports the Treasury Board of Canada (TB) in its role as plan sponsor of the public service pension and benefits plans and as the Employer for departments and agencies of the Core Public Administration (CPA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

Key activities include setting terms and conditions of employment of non-executive employees in the CPA and providing support for separate agencies outside the CPA. ERTC also negotiates changes to benefits plans and collective agreements, develops and implements public sector pension legislation, including monitoring and administrative management of the federal public service pension and benefit plans. The program maintains job evaluation and qualification standards, modernizes the classification program, and advises departments and Ministers’ offices on labour relations, classification, occupational health and safety and compensation issues, including strategic direction to prevent and resolve workplace harassment. Finally, it implements and monitors compliance with pay equity requirements in the CPA and the RCMP.

No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
