FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ratification Timeline
OTTAWA - The Board of Directors would like to notify all public service Financial Officers that discussions are currently underway regarding a timeline for signing the new collective agreement with the employer.
We anticipate having the deal officially signed by Christmas. As most of you know, the employer has a maximum of 90 days after the signing of the agreement to process any retroactive pay that is to be applied.
However, it is important that we exercise due diligence and as such, we are carrying out a clause-by-clause review of the tentative agreement to ensure the prepared text matches the deal reached at the bargaining table. We've already had to address a few inconsistencies so we can assure you this step is an important one.
We will continue to provide updates when more information becomes available. Thank you for your continued support during this process.
