What Are You Doing to Reduce the Number of Pay Problems? A Discussion About Your Corporate Commitment on Pay
A government-wide corporate priority for fiscal year 2018-19 is Supporting Efforts to Address the Pay System. Executives whose organizations are served by the new pay system are to continue to undertake the necessary initiatives to ensure our employees are paid accurately and on time. This includes undertaking actions both within their organization and contributing to the efforts of Public Services and Procurement Canada and the Treasury Board Secretariat in tackling the challenges posed by the pay system.
Join APEX in a discussion where you can share how you are meeting this commitment and hear about the efforts of others.
The results of this discussion will be summarized and shared for the benefit of the entire executive community.
This event is part of our “EXpressions” series.
Date & Registration:
The session will be held on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm (EST).

What Executives Can Do to Help Reduce the Number of Pay Problems: Public Services and Procurement Canada Perspective.
Come hear the Public Services and Procurement Canada Client Service Center’s perspective on how to reduce the number of pay problems.
To help executives fulfill the government-wide priority for fiscal year 2018-19, Supporting Efforts to Address the Pay System, APEX has invited a guest presenter from the Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Pay Administration Branch’s Client Service Centre to share suggestions for how executives can help reduce the number of pay problems.
The Clerk has requested that all departments served by the Pay Centre undertake the necessary initiatives to ensure that employees are paid accurately and on time.
Join us for this brief presentation by PSPC, followed by a discussion about ideas and tips for reducing pay problems. The results of this discussion will be summarized and shared for the benefit of the entire executive community.

October 25
Will you meet the Corporate Priority of Building a Diverse Public Service?
As part of our 2018-19 performance agreements, Executives are asked to identify recruitment and development activities to increase the social and cultural diversity of our workforce, in order to better reflect the population we serve and improve decision making. This includes defining diversity goals with respect to the needs of their own organization, implementing the appropriate recruitment and development activities and measuring progress.
Will you be positioned to report favorably on that commitment?
Join your colleagues in a conversation about that priority so that we can all benefit from one another’s experiences and ideas. In doing so, you will be able to share your thoughts and gain the insight and ideas of others with regards to this priority.
APEX will share some ideas in a handout which will be provided to event participants.
