New Wage Grids Now Available

April 1, 2022 General Wage Increase (GWI) and Low Wage Redress (LWR) and April 1, 2023 General Wage Increase (GWI) and Cost-of Living Adjustment (COLA)

Since announcing on March 29 that Employers of the community social services sector have ratified each of the sector’s three collective agreements, CSSEA and the Community Social Services Bargaining Association (CSSBA) have agreed on the distribution of Low Wage Redress (LWR) and finalized the April 1, 2023 preliminary wage grids, which are effective the first full pay period following April 1.

Employers are asked to refer to this joint bulletin to obtain details on the wage increases, including April 1, 2022 wage grids that should be paid retroactively as soon as members are able or receive the necessary funding. The bulletin also includes April 1, 2023 preliminary wage grids, which are subject to further adjustments and may include retroactive increases once the Health Sector Wage Comparability increases are finalized. The parties have also signed a Memorandum of Agreement regarding distribution of LWR and the April 1, 2023 preliminary wage grids. The Indigenous Services Delegated Services wage grids can be found here.
