Reviewing the PDF
Read over the PDF and compare the information contained in each of the factors to the
“Duties and Responsibilities” for the position. Review each section (Factor) to ensure
that you understand the relationship of the language that is being used in the specific
section to the duties and responsibilities that have been assigned to the position.
Do a cursory review of the assigned points, by factor that were provided for the
position and identify the factors that appear to be under valued. You should remember
that your energies would be best spent working on factors in dispute as they will be the
issue(s) of contention, both at the internal resolution steps (formal [grievance] or
informal) and at Arbitration.
Previous PDF’s, current and recent postings should also be reviewed to ensure
consistency. You may also want to review comparable PDF’s and corepoints.
1A. Education
Read the manual and the notes to raters. If you have any concerns about the
educational requirements that the College has assigned to the position, compare the
requirement to positions with similar duties and responsibilities, a case may be made if
inequity exists within positions with similar duties and responsibilities. Note the
discrepancies if they exist.
To assist in strengthening your argument, you may wish to refer to NOC Codes
(National Occupation Classifications) website at
http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/workplaceskills/noc/index.shtml as a reference.
1B. Additional Educational Requirement
If the position has additional educational requirements that were not included in this
section of the PDF, you must first satisfy yourself that the requirement was not part of
the formal education that was identified under 1A. Then using the “Duties &
Responsibilities” section, develop examples to support your claim. You must also
indicate the amount of training that is required to achieve this additional certification.
