We are pleased to inform you that your new collective agreement was signed on December 18, 2024.
The Treasury Board has 180 days to implement the salary changes, disperse retroactive payments and the lump sum payment to members. The implementation date is December 18, when the collective agreement was signed.
The one-time pensionable, lump sum payment of $2,500 will be paid to each PG or CO who was an employee on Nov. 1, 2024, the date of the Arbitral Award. This includes employees on sick leave, Leave Without Pay or acting where their substantial position is still a PG or CO. CP members who retired before or were hired after Nov. 1 are not eligible for the lump sum.
We have received positive feedback from other PIPSC groups about the pay centre's efficiency in processing lump sum and retroactive payments, and we hope for a smooth implementation for our members.
Thank you for your patience as we prepared the contract for final signature. We will provide you with more timelines as the information becomes available.
In solidarity,
CP Bargaining Team, PIPSC
