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, Article Seven - Salaries, clause 7.01: 'The following shall be the scale of annual salaries paid to the Fire Department employees from January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2026'. Four effective-date columns are printed: 1-Jan-23, 1-Jan-24 (3%), 1-Jan-25 (3%), 1-Jan-26 (3%). Steps read from the 1-Jan-26 column, the only in-force column as of 2026-08-28. Term also stated on the agreement title page and at Article Twenty (20.01). Note the provincial library's own metadata lists agreementStartDate 2022-01-01, but the document itself states January 1, 2023; the document is used. Fire Administrator steps (55%-75%) appear in the same table but are an administrative classification outside the suppression ladder and are not included.. 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.
