TB recognizes that the AJC's situation is unique since our long-standing performance management regime is embedded in our collective agreement
After much back-and-forth between the AJC and Treasury Board senior management, TB has finally recognized that the performance regime as set out in the AJC's collective agreement supersedes any directive issued by their department.
TB has sent us this official letter of confirmation. You can read it by

TB recognizes that the AJC's situation is unique since our long-standing performance management regime is embedded in our collective agreement (
Appendices B and C).
Over the last few weeks, AJC members and other federal public servants have been receiving the Treasury Board email about information sessions for the new Directive on Performance Management, which comes into effect on April 1, 2014.
Some AJC members have already signed a form on performance management based on this directive. Treasury Board advised the AJC that management is using these interim forms in order to comply with the April 1, 2014 implementation date that is prescribed by the
Directive on Performance Management.
It is important to note that this is not the valid form for the LP group. A new form will be sent to all LPs shortly. This year, the form will only be available in paper format.
The new form will correspond to the AJC collective agreement, with the 4 ratings (as opposed to 5 for other employees in the federal public service).
Treasury Board has assured us that they have already instructed both DoJ and PPSC to use the new form and will be engaging the smaller agencies to do the same.
We are pleased that our LPs will continue to work under a regime that they are familiar with and is tailored to their work environment.
