Discussion:

The summary report of the consultant’s findings is attached to this report for Council’s review as Appendix B. Included as part of the report is the consultant’s Appendix A and B which outlines the positions reviewed and defines relevant terms.

The Consultant collected data for 68 non union positions. In 2017, sixty-five (65) of those positions had sufficient data to be included, which is four (4) data points or more. In 2018, one additional position did not have enough data points and was therefore removed from the 2018 review, which resulted in sixty-four (64) positons having sufficient data for 2018. The positions chosen for review are a sampling of positions from across the Corporation and all non-union salary bands. These positions are representative of all departments throughout the Corporation to ensure a comprehensive review of all the departments is completed. The salary band distribution of the positions is reflective of the total number of positions within each salary band, e.g. there are a larger number of non union positions in salary band 12 than salary band 8, therefore 14 of the sample positions are from salary band 12 while only 2 samples positions are from salary band 8.

The following is a summary of the recommendation made by the Consultant, and reviewed by the committee, which was the Administrative Committee formed to help guide this project. The committee is made up of the following non union employees from across the Corporation in an effort to have membership that is reflective of our workplace:
