Job Evaluation Maintenance Procedure

E-mail Print PDF

 IN THE WORKS:

The City of Toronto began the comprehensive Job Evaluation process soon after amalgamation (in 1998).  They chose to use a modified version of the Hay Method of Job Evaluation.

From the outset of this process, COTAPSA requested that we be involved in this process to ensure fairness and to increase employee acceptance of the results.  However, City staff determined that they did not wish to involve COTAPSA and proceeded with Job Evaluation.  This was completed in 2007.

IN THE WORKS: 

Beginning in the Fall of 2007, COTAPSA began researching a process by which employees could appeal their performance reviews.  This was done after repeated requests and complaints from Members regarding reviews and rankings received during the performance appraisal process. 

This research consisted of surveying a number of other governmental agencies (Municipalities, Counties, Universities, Provincial and State Governments) to determine a process for appealing performance appraisals.  COTAPSA found that a large percentage of Universities had a procedure in place for dealing with this issue.

E-mail Print PDF

Principles

The City of Toronto’s divisions may need to rehire, on an exception basis, former employees, who have retired early in order to assist the corporation to address shortfalls in skills and knowledge. Former employees who may be considered for rehire are those who have retired from the city and are in receipt of an OMERS pension. The exception to this is:Retirees who left with a severance payment or retirement incentive who cannot be rehired for two years after their termination date under the terms of the Re-employment of Former Employees after Reorganizing policy.  Note: Retirees may be rehired to undertake non-bargaining unit work only.
