Executive Policies - Fact Sheets
The Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer is responsible for the management of executives in the core public administration as they are not part of a bargaining unit. The policy and directives cover items such as classification, compensation, performance management and special deployments.
To assist with some of these matters, the Advisory Committee on Senior Level Retention and Compensation was established in 1997 to provide independent advice and recommendations to the President of the Treasury Board about compensation and overall human resources management matters concerning executives.
There is one policy and four directives that govern executives:
