Compensation and Labour Relations

The Compensation and Labour Relations (CLR) Branch supports the Treasury Board as the Employer of the Core Public Administration, which includes all departments and agencies named in Schedule I and Schedule IV of the Financial Administration Act. CLR's main activities are varied, but can be summed up under two key responsibilities.

CLR is responsible for the management of labour-management relations and compensation operations. It conducts collective bargaining for the Core Public Administration; oversees pay administration; develops and interprets government-wide administrative policies; and, provides advice and support to departments and agencies on labour relations issues.

CLR also supports the Treasury Board in its role in ensuring fiscally responsible expenditure management by determining compensation for the Core Public Administration (except for the executive group), the Canadian Forces, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Branch also supports other Federal Public Service employers, the Separate Agencies named in Schedule V of the Financial Administration Act, in obtaining their negotiations mandates from the Treasury Board.
