Your Input is Needed in 2017 Compensation and Employee Turnover Survey

The 2017 Compensation and Employee Turnover Survey is now available to complete. It is very important that all members complete the survey, as your data needs to be included in the sector’s total compensation cost reported to the Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC), as it supports the implementation of the 2014-2019 collective agreements. Data collected will also be used to inform the allocation and distribution of the April 1, 2018 compensation comparability and classification anomaly wage increases.

Members have until May 31, 2017 to submit the survey through one of the following options:

1.  The Excel Survey, which is the recommended method for most members.
2. The Work Force Information System (WFIS), where data can be entered directly online or can be copied from last year’s survey and then edited online.
3. Payroll Extract for members using ComVida EMS42 Payroll and Payworks Payroll which allows member to export relevant information and includes a short supplementary survey. For members using payroll extract for the first time or to submit your extract, please contact David Lin at This email address is being protected from spambots.
