Growth plan description

The growth model applies only to employees appointed on or after April 1, 2001 to positions established at the correctional services R16 level. Ministries that are able to attract fully qualified and experienced applicants to the CS R16 level may hire directly to the CS R16 level.

Appointment to and movement through the growth model will be per the growth plan set out above. The employer will determine when the growth model is required.

It is the responsibility of the employer to determine the staffing qualifications when hiring for CS R16 positions inclusive of the staffing qualifications for each level of the growth model to which individual applicants will be placed.

Training activities such as the Justice Institute training program for new Correctional Officers at the Ministries of Attorney General or Children and Families will be compensated at a training placement rate during the training, which is a prerequisite for placement at the appropriate level in the growth model.

Placement in the growth model is not a 'reclassification' for the purpose of salary treatment on placement in the model upon completion of the training phase.

Increments are not applicable until an employee attains the CS R16 level. The increment date shall be set at the date of attaining the CS R16 level and the first increment will occur one year later, consistent with the employer’s policy on increments.

Each level on the growth model is to be 'the equivalent of 6 months full-time employment.' Once placed on the model, employees who meet ministry standards of performance will be eligible to move to the next level of the model at the end of the shift during which 913 hours paid at the straight time rate are accumulated.

If 913 hours are reached in the middle of the day, the new level will be applied at the end of the shift and accumulation of hours toward the next level will start at the beginning of the following work shift.
