Increments

Most non-management positions have a set schedule for incremental salary increases.

Over or under payment

If you've been over or underpaid, contact AskMyHR (IDIR restricted).

Submit a service request using the categories Myself (or) My Team or Organization > Pay > Over/Under Payments.

Salary protection

Your salary is protected in the case of an involuntary demotion. You could be demoted if your job is reclassified downward or if you’re assigned to a lower position due to workforce restructuring.

Substitution pay

If you temporarily have to take on the principle duties of a higher-classified position, you may be eligible for substitution pay.

Temporary market adjustment

Hiring managers use temporary market adjustments (TMAs) or recruitment and retention adjustments (RRAs) to attract employees during skill shortages.

Once a shortage ends, they return to their regular pay structure.

Under implementation

Fully qualified applicants are not always available for every position.

This creates unique opportunities for employees in some jobs to learn as they go.
