A work force adjustment (WFA) situation arises when the service of an employee is no longer required because of:
- Lack of work
- Discontinuance of a function
- A relocation of a work unit where the employee does not wish to relocate
- An alternative delivery initiative
In some situations only specific positions are involved in a WFA, while in other cases the adjustment may involve entire work sections, functions or departments.
The primary objective of WFA is to ensure continued employment.
- Continued employment does not necessarily mean continuation of work in the same or a similar position, or occupational group; accordingly, employees must not assume that their new job will be identical or similar to the vacated position.
If you are facing a WFA situation please review the FAQs in the sidebar and download the WFA Flow Chart that will guide you through the entire process.
If you have any questions or require any assistance, we encourage you to contact your steward and/or Consultation Team.
