Labour Relations and Compensation - vote 3402
The Labour Relations and Compensation program supports the government’s commitment to positive labour relations within the Ontario Public Service (OPS) and broader public sector (BPS). The program represents the Crown as the employer in all collective bargaining and labour relations issues affecting the OPS, provides employee and labour relations advisory services, supports ongoing union-management relations, manages corporate compensation strategies and programs, and is a centre of expertise for organizational management and job classification. It also provides fiscal governance of all benefit and pension plans for employees and retirees of the OPS and the judiciary. The program analyzes internal and external factors that drive collective bargaining outcomes in the BPS in order to develop and provide evidence-based strategic guidance and advice to government, ministries and BPS employers related to ongoing collective bargaining and labour relations issues. The program also provides bi-weekly payroll services and client services on pay and benefits to all OPS employees and select agency employees in compliance with legislative requirements and collective agreements. In addition, the program serves as a centre of expertise supporting government initiatives impacting total compensation policy in the BPS (e.g., executive compensation and oversight regarding insurance benefits program participation).
