What this step buys
An estimate, not an approval. Send it over and we will confirm it against your own stubs.
Ask Jeff and EmilyThis agreement expires within the year. The rates above keep applying past the expiry date while a new agreement is bargained, and any increase is normally backdated. If your file closes around then, it is worth flagging.
Collective agreement, Schedule 'A' annual wage tables. Three full rank tables are printed, headed 'January 1st, 2024' (agreement page 27), 'January 1st, 2025' (page 29) and 'January 1st, 2026 / 2.00%' (page 31, PDF page 33). All 'steps' values are read from the January 1, 2026 table on agreement page 31, verified against a rendered image of that page. A fourth, partial table headed 'July 1st, 2026' appears on agreement page 32 (PDF page 34) but contains ONLY Platoon Chief rows (127% band re-rated to $153,389 / $156,927 / $160,467 / $164,007); no firefighter, captain or other rank has a July 1, 2026 column, so the January 1, 2026 rates remain the in-force firefighter rates as of 2026-08-28. Term confirmed at Article 20:00.. Open the source. Base pay only. Premiums, overtime and paid duty are not in this table. Confirm against your own stub before relying on it.
