Compensation and Employee Turnover Report 2026

In 2026, all non-CSSEA/non-HEABC (“non-union") social services agencies with employees who receive B.C. Government funding are being asked to complete the 2026 Compensation and Employee Turnover Report.

Completion of the report is required to support government decision making on future funded compensation increases for the non-union social services sector.

See the timeline to complete the report for important dates.

Purpose

The report is an initiative coordinated by government funders of social services to collect employee workforce and compensation data from non-CSSEA/non-HEABC contracted social service agencies.

The data collected is targeted to help the B.C. Government better understand the non-union social services sector’s compensation costs, employee turnover rates and human resource demographics.

Data collected

The 2026 report collects calendar year 2025 information on:

  • Wages and benefits
  • Paid hours
  • Employee counts
  • Workforce demographics
    (such as, gender, age, and seniority)
  • Benefit participation
  • Employee turnover
  • Vacancies
  • Funding
  • The number of contracts

The report does not collect employee-specific information or personal identifiers.

How this data helps the non-union social services sector

The data being collected informs B.C. Government decisions on appropriate resources and supports for the non-union sector.

The data also provides non-CSSEA/non-HEABC agencies with useful benchmark information to:

  • Support recruitment and retention strategies
  • Better understand shifting labour force demographics
  • Enhance the long-term sustainability of the social services sector in B.C.

Timeline to complete the report

The 2026 report will be available for agencies to complete March 18, 2026.

Agencies must complete and return the report before June 30, 2026.
