Basic Information for Executives

Key Leadership Competencies

As a community, ESDC executives are dedicated to meeting these goals while exemplifying the six key leadership competencies.

Directive on Terms and Conditions of Employment for Executives

This directive sets out the terms and conditions of employment for executives across the core public administration and the associated responsibilities of heads of human resources, delegated managers and executives. The directive covers salary and non-salary elements, performance pay, special deployments and career transition agreements. Employees deployed or appointed (with the exception of acting appointments) to any Executive (EX) Group position on or after April 1, 2020, are subject to the Agreement to being deployed as a condition of employment upon appointment or deployment (Appendix A, Part II, section 14). 

Executive Talent Management (TM)

Executive talent management is designed to support the ongoing development and retention of executives while supporting current and future departmental business goals. It helps build sustained excellence in public service leadership by maximizing the contribution of every executive. The talent management cycle for EX-01 to EX-03 typically occurs during Winter, while the EX-04 to EX-05 occurs in the Fall.

Executive Performance Management (PM)

The Performance Management Program for Executives encourages excellence in performance by setting clear objectives, evaluating achievement of results, recognizing and rewarding performance, and providing a framework for consistency in performance management.

To reflect the nature and scope of executives’ work, their compensation is different from that of other employees in the core public administration. In addition to base salary, executives may earn performance-based compensation that reflects their level of achievement of objectives and their demonstration of key leadership competencies.

Performance-based compensation may be in the form of at-risk pay, in-range salary movement (increments within a salary range) and revision of a salary range. Executives who have achieved exceptional results against all commitments and who have truly demonstrated the Key Leadership Competencies may also receive a bonus.

At-Risk Pay

This is a percentage of base salary paid as a lump sum to eligible executives, based on their level of performance, as approved by the deputy head and within the limits prescribed by the Treasury Board. At-risk pay does not increase your base pay.

You are eligible, if:

  • You occupied an EX position for a minimum of three consecutive months during the fiscal year; 
  • Your approved performance agreement within the Executive Talent Management System (ETMS) includes description of the results achieved against established commitments and how they were achieved through the demonstration of the key leadership competencies (KLCs); and 
  • Your final integrated performance rating, approved by the departmental Executive Review Committee (RC), is “Succeeded minus” (level 2) or higher.

In-Range Salary Movement

You will progress through the salary range every year, based on your performance, until you reach the maximum. Prorating of the in-range salary movement to the time spend at the higher level position may apply if you were promoted or started acting during the fiscal year. You must obtain an integrated performance rating of “Succeeded minus” (level 2) or higher to progress through the range. The in- range salary increase percentages used for each performance rating is determined by the Deputy Minister on an annual basis.

Bonus

A bonus may be earned by executives whose performance is truly exceptional and are given an integrated rating of “Surpassed (level 5).” A bonus does not increase base pay.

Performance pay must be earned every year and is calculated based on your integratd performance rating and your salary effective March 31, or the last day you worked. Performance pay is prorated according to the number of months spent at executive level in a fiscal year.
