Performance Pay for Non-MGs

Criminal Investigation Division (CID) Staffing

There is a notice of job offer recently as well as other communications about the Employer hiring AU-01 and AU-02 employees for CID. Currently there are no positions under the AU-03 level nor are there any job descriptions at the AU-01 and the AU-02 levels. There is concern that AU-01s and AU-02s will be receiving AU-03 work without the pay and also concerns about the lack of training for these employees.

Pre-Retirement Paid leave

The information to demonstrate that an employee is eligible for pre-retirement paid leave is currently available in CAS. The Employer’s response was that simply that they communicated it previously and employees are complying. The Executive is reviewing next steps on the matter.
