In 2026, monetary limits range from **$15,000 in Quebec and Manitoba*","Small Claims Court in Canada resolves civil disputes involving money or property without the cost and complexity of higher courts. In 2026, monetary limits range from **$15,000 in Quebec and Manitoba** to **$50,000 in Alberta and Yukon**. You do not need a lawyer to file — most provinces now offer online portals. If your claim falls within the provincial limit and involves an unpaid debt, property damage, or a broken contract, Small Claims Court is typically your fastest and least expensive route to a judgment.\n\n**Key takeaway:** The limit in your province determines whether Small Claims Court is the right venue. Exceeding the limit means choosing between abandoning the excess or filing in a higher court with significantly higher costs and delays.\n\n## What Small Claims Court Can (and Cannot) Resolve\n\nSmall Claims Court (called *Division des petites créances* in Quebec) is a branch of provincial court designed to handle civil disputes quickly and affordably. It operates under simplified rules of evidence and procedure, making it accessible to Canadians who represent themselves.\n\n**Cases this court routinely handles:**\n- Unpaid invoices, loans, or wages\n- Property damage (vehicle collisions, contractor work gone wrong)\n- Breach of contract for goods or services\n- Security deposit disputes between tenants and landlords\n- Defective product claims\n\n**Cases outside its jurisdiction:**\n- Family law matters (divorce, child support, custody)\n- Criminal charges\n- Real estate title disputes\n- Defamation and libel (most provinces)\n- Claims against the federal Crown\n- Bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings\n\nWhen a dispute is too complex or the amount too large for Small Claims Court, parties must file in the Court of King's Bench (or Superior Court in Quebec and Ontario). Those proceedings involve formal discovery, mandatory legal representation in most cases, and costs that can easily reach five figures. If your claim is borderline, consider whether [civil litigation](https:\u002F\u002Fexpert-zoom.com\u002Fca\u002Flawyers\u002Fcivil-litigation) with professional legal support makes more sense than capping the claim to fit the small claims limit.\n\n> \"Most clients are surprised to learn they can get a binding court judgment for a $20,000 contract dispute without ever hiring a lawyer for the hearing itself. That accessibility is the whole point of the small claims system.\"\n> — *Stéphanie Hébert, civil litigation consultant, Ottawa, 2025*\n\n\n## 2026 Monetary Limits by Province and Territory\n\nEach province and territory sets its own ceiling. The table below reflects current legislation as of 2026. Because limits change through provincial statutes — Alberta raised its limit from $25,000 to $50,000 in 2020, and several provinces have announced reviews — always verify with the official court website before filing.\n\n| Province \u002F Territory | 2026 Limit | Court Name |\n|---|---|---|\n| Ontario | $35,000 | Small Claims Court (Superior Court of Justice) |\n| British Columbia | $35,000 | Provincial Court — Small Claims Division |\n| Alberta | $50,000 | Court of Justice — Civil Division |\n| Quebec | $15,000 | Division des petites créances (Court of Québec) |\n| Saskatchewan | $30,000 | Provincial Court — Small Claims |\n| Nova Scotia | $25,000 | Small Claims Court |\n| Newfoundland & Labrador | $25,000 | Provincial Court — Small Claims |\n| New Brunswick | $20,000 | Small Claims Court |\n| Manitoba | $15,000 | Court of King's Bench — Small Claims |\n| Prince Edward Island | $16,000 | Small Claims Court |\n| Yukon | $50,000 | Territorial Court — Small Claims |\n| Northwest Territories | $35,000 | Territorial Court — Small Claims |\n| Nunavut | $50,000 | Nunavut Court of Justice — Small Claims |\n\n**Quebec's distinct model:** The Division des petites créances (Division of Small Claims) operates under unique rules. Lawyers are barred from representing parties *at the hearing* — they may only advise clients beforehand. This levels the playing field but means litigants must argue their own cases. The $15,000 ceiling also reflects a policy choice to keep the division focused on everyday consumer disputes rather than business-to-business claims.\n\n**BC's dual-track system:** British Columbia combines the Civil Resolution Tribunal (CRT) for claims up to $5,000 and Provincial Court Small Claims for amounts up to $35,000. The CRT is fully online; Provincial Court hearings are conducted in person or by video conference.\n\n\n## How to File a Small Claim in Canada: Step-by-Step\n\nThe exact forms differ by province but the process follows a consistent national pattern. Here is how a typical small claims filing unfolds — using Ontario as the reference jurisdiction, with notes on provincial differences.\n\n### Step 1: Confirm Your Claim Is Eligible\n\nVerify that the amount you seek falls within your province's limit (see table above), that the dispute is civil in nature, and that the limitation period has not expired. In most provinces, the limitation period for civil claims is **two years** from the date you discovered the loss [Limitations Act, 2002, S.O. 2002, c. 24].\n\n### Step 2: Send a Demand Letter\n\nBefore filing, send a formal written demand to the defendant. State the amount owed, the reason for the debt, and a deadline for payment (typically 10–14 days). Courts look favourably on claimants who attempted to resolve the dispute first, and some defendants will pay rather than face a court date.\n\n### Step 3: Complete and File the Claim Form\n\nPick up or download the Statement of Claim (Form 7A in Ontario, Form SC-1 in BC, Civil Claim form in Alberta). Fill in: your details, the defendant's details, the amount claimed, and a clear summary of the facts. File at the courthouse or through the provincial online portal. Pay the filing fee.\n\n### Step 4: Serve the Defendant\n\nYou must officially notify the defendant by serving them a copy of the filed claim. Rules vary: personal service, mail, or courier are typically accepted. Keep proof of service — the court will require it.\n\n### Step 5: Attend the Settlement Conference or Trial\n\nMost provinces schedule a mandatory settlement conference before trial. A judge or deputy judge reviews both sides and encourages resolution. If no settlement is reached, the case proceeds to a trial — typically 30 to 90 minutes for straightforward matters.\n\n\n## Online Filing Options by Province in 2026\n\nFiling online removes the need to visit a courthouse, a significant barrier in rural and northern communities. As of 2026, most provinces have introduced or expanded digital portals.\n\n**Fully online filing available:**\n\n- **British Columbia:** The [Civil Resolution Tribunal](https:\u002F\u002Fcivilresolutionbc.ca) handles claims up to $5,000 entirely online — from filing through to decision. For amounts between $5,001 and $35,000, parties must file in Provincial Court but can initiate the process through the BC Court Online portal.\n- **Ontario:** The Ontario Court of Justice accepts Small Claims Court filings through the Ontario Court Services Online portal. Parties can file forms, pay fees, and track case status online.\n- **Alberta:** The Alberta Courts website offers an eCourt portal for filing Civil Division claims. Hearings can be conducted by video conference.\n- **Nova Scotia:** The Nova Scotia courts offer online claim submissions through the Access Nova Scotia service.\n\n**Provinces with partial online access:**\n\nSaskatchewan, Manitoba, and New Brunswick allow online payment of fees and some document submission, but initial claim forms must still be filed in person or by mail in most cases.\n\n**Territories:** Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut have limited digital infrastructure for court filings. The Territorial Court websites provide forms for download, but filing must be done in person or by mail. Remote communities may access court services through circuit courts.\n\n**Scenario:** David, a freelance web developer in Calgary, invoiced a client $8,400 for completed work. When payment never arrived, David filed through the Alberta eCourt portal in under 45 minutes, paid a $100 filing fee online, and received a court date by email two weeks later. He did not need a lawyer, and the defendant settled at the settlement conference six weeks after filing.\n\n\n## Costs, Timelines, and Enforcing Your Judgment\n\nFiling a small claim is intentionally affordable. The actual cost depends on the province and the amount claimed.\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"stat-grid\">\n  \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-card\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-value\">$75–$200\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-label\">Typical filing fee\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-source\">Provincial court schedules, 2026\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-card\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-value\">3–12 months\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-label\">Average time to judgment\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-source\">Canadian Forum on Civil Justice, 2024\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-card\">\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-value\">~60%\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-label\">Cases settled before trial\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"stat-source\">Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General, 2023\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n**Winning is not collecting.** A court judgment establishes that the defendant owes you money — it does not guarantee payment. If the defendant refuses to pay, you must enforce the judgment yourself through additional legal steps: garnishing wages, seizing bank accounts, or registering a lien on property. Enforcement costs additional filing fees.\n\nWillful refusal to comply with a court order can escalate into [contempt of court proceedings in Canada](https:\u002F\u002Fexpert-zoom.com\u002Fca\u002Fnews\u002Fcontempt-of-court-canada-2026), which carry their own serious legal consequences.\n\n**Can you recover your costs?** Small Claims Court is intentionally cost-neutral. Successful claimants may recover filing fees and service costs. Legal fees (if you hired a paralegal or lawyer for advice) are generally not recoverable unless the opposing party behaved unreasonably.\n\n\n## Five Mistakes That Sink Small Claims Cases\n\nEven when the facts are on your side, procedural errors can derail your claim. These are the most common mistakes Canadian filers make.\n\n**1. Missing the limitation period.** In most provinces, you have two years from the date you knew (or ought to have known) about the loss. Filing one day late means the claim is statute-barred — the defendant can have it dismissed before the hearing begins.\n\n**2. Naming the wrong defendant.** If a contractor operates through a numbered company (e.g., 12345678 Alberta Ltd.), you must name the company, not the individual. Check provincial business registries before filing to confirm the legal entity name and registered address.\n\n**3. Claiming excluded damages.** Punitive damages, pain and suffering, and future losses are typically outside Small Claims Court jurisdiction. Sticking to documented, quantifiable losses (invoices, receipts, repair estimates) gives your claim the strongest foundation.\n\n**4. Inadequate service.** Courts have strict rules on how documents must be delivered to the defendant. Texting a photo of the claim does not constitute valid service in any province. Use certified mail, a process server, or follow the court's prescribed methods exactly.\n\n**5. Arriving unprepared.** Judges decide based on evidence — written contracts, invoices, photos, text messages, and witnesses. Showing up with a verbal account alone is rarely sufficient. Organize your documents chronologically and prepare a clear, factual summary of your claim.\n\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n**Can I claim for emotional distress in Small Claims Court?**\nGenerally, no. Small Claims Court is designed for quantifiable financial losses — unpaid money, damaged property, unreturned deposits. Claims for emotional distress, anxiety, or psychological harm belong to higher courts where complex damages are assessed. Some provinces allow a small award for \"inconvenience\" in clear-cut consumer cases, but this is discretionary and modest.\n\n**What happens if the defendant does not show up?**\nIf a properly served defendant fails to appear at the hearing, the judge may grant a default judgment in your favour. You still need to present your evidence and demonstrate that the claim is valid. A default judgment carries the same legal weight as one issued after a contested hearing.\n\n**Can a corporation file or be sued in Small Claims Court?**\nYes. Businesses — including numbered companies, sole proprietors, and corporations — can both file claims and be named as defendants. In Quebec, corporations may not use a lawyer to represent them in the Division des petites créances, just like individuals.\n\n**What if I disagree with the judgment?**\nDecisions can be appealed to a higher court, but the appeal process is more formal and expensive. Appeals succeed on errors of law, not simply because you believe the judge ruled incorrectly on the facts. Many appellants find that the cost and time of an appeal outweigh the benefit for smaller claims.\n\n**Does filing a claim affect my credit or the defendant's?**\nNo. Filing a Small Claims Court claim is not reported to credit bureaus. However, if you win and register the judgment against the defendant's property or enforce it through wage garnishment, that enforcement action may become part of the public record.\n\n\n---\n\n> **Legal disclaimer:** The information on this page is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Legal fees (if you hired a paralegal or lawyer for advice) are generally not recoverable unless the opposing party behaved unreasonably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"five-mistakes-that-sink-small-claims-cases\">Five Mistakes That Sink Small Claims Cases\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Even when the facts are on your side, procedural errors can derail your claim. These are the most common mistakes Canadian filers make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>1. Missing the limitation period.\u003C\u002Fstrong> In most provinces, you have two years from the date you knew (or ought to have known) about the loss. Filing one day late means the claim is statute-barred — the defendant can have it dismissed before the hearing begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>2. Naming the wrong defendant.\u003C\u002Fstrong> If a contractor operates through a numbered company (e.g., 12345678 Alberta Ltd.), you must name the company, not the individual. Check provincial business registries before filing to confirm the legal entity name and registered address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>3. Claiming excluded damages.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Punitive damages, pain and suffering, and future losses are typically outside Small Claims Court jurisdiction. Sticking to documented, quantifiable losses (invoices, receipts, repair estimates) gives your claim the strongest foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>4. Inadequate service.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Courts have strict rules on how documents must be delivered to the defendant. Texting a photo of the claim does not constitute valid service in any province. Use certified mail, a process server, or follow the court's prescribed methods exactly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>5. Arriving unprepared.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Judges decide based on evidence — written contracts, invoices, photos, text messages, and witnesses. Showing up with a verbal account alone is rarely sufficient. Organize your documents chronologically and prepare a clear, factual summary of your claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Can I claim for emotional distress in Small Claims Court?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\nGenerally, no. Small Claims Court is designed for quantifiable financial losses — unpaid money, damaged property, unreturned deposits. Claims for emotional distress, anxiety, or psychological harm belong to higher courts where complex damages are assessed. Some provinces allow a small award for "inconvenience" in clear-cut consumer cases, but this is discretionary and modest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>What happens if the defendant does not show up?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\nIf a properly served defendant fails to appear at the hearing, the judge may grant a default judgment in your favour. You still need to present your evidence and demonstrate that the claim is valid. A default judgment carries the same legal weight as one issued after a contested hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Can a corporation file or be sued in Small Claims Court?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\nYes. Businesses — including numbered companies, sole proprietors, and corporations — can both file claims and be named as defendants. In Quebec, corporations may not use a lawyer to represent them in the Division des petites créances, just like individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>What if I disagree with the judgment?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\nDecisions can be appealed to a higher court, but the appeal process is more formal and expensive. Appeals succeed on errors of law, not simply because you believe the judge ruled incorrectly on the facts. Many appellants find that the cost and time of an appeal outweigh the benefit for smaller claims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Does filing a claim affect my credit or the defendant's?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\nNo. Filing a Small Claims Court claim is not reported to credit bureaus. However, if you win and register the judgment against the defendant's property or enforce it through wage garnishment, that enforcement action may become part of the public record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Chr>\n\u003Cblockquote>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Legal disclaimer:\u003C\u002Fstrong> The information on this page is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Collective Agreement Ontario — Complete Guide to Your Rights and Pay 2026","Ontario's approximately 45,000 public secondary school teachers are covered by one of the most significant collective agreements in Canadian education: the central agreement negotiated between the Ont","# OSSTF Collective Agreement Ontario — Complete Guide to Your Rights and Pay 2026\n\nOntario's approximately 45,000 public secondary school teachers are covered by one of the most significant collective agreements in Canadian education: the central agreement negotiated between the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF\u002FFEESO) and the provincial government on behalf of Ontario's 72 district school boards. After years of dispute — including the controversial Bill 124 wage suppression legislation — the current agreement was resolved through binding interest arbitration in May 2024, delivering compounded wage increases of 11.73 per cent over four years. For the 2024–25 and 2025–26 school years, annual increases of 2.75 per cent and 2.5 per cent respectively bring meaningful salary restoration after years of artificially capped wages. This guide unpacks everything you need to know: who is covered, what you earn at each grid step, how your pension and sick leave work, and what happens if your employment ends.\n\n## Who Is Covered Under the OSSTF Central Agreement\n\nThe Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation represents approximately 60,000 members across the province, but the central collective agreement described here applies specifically to **teachers and occasional teachers employed by Ontario's publicly funded district school boards** — roughly 40,000 to 45,000 classroom educators in secondary schools (Grades 9–12).\n\nOSSTF bargaining is **two-tier**: the central agreement sets province-wide terms for wages, sick leave, preparation time, and professional obligations, while local agreements with each of the 36 school board districts add board-specific terms around class size caps, additional allowances, and local working conditions. Both tiers of your agreement apply simultaneously; where local terms exceed central minimums, the better standard prevails.\n\nExcluded from this central agreement — though OSSTF represents them through separate bargaining — are educational assistants, professional student services personnel, early childhood educators, and support staff (secretarial, custodial, plant). Their agreements are governed under separate provincial tables.\n\nOntario's secondary school teachers are **provincially regulated** employees under the *Education Act* and the *Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000* (ESA). Unlike many federally regulated sectors, the Canada Labour Code does not apply; the Ontario ESA sets the statutory floors for notice, severance, overtime (if applicable), and vacation pay.\n\n## Current Wage Rates and Pay Grid (2024–25 and 2025–26)\n\nOntario teacher salaries are determined by a **QECO qualification category** (A1, A2, A3, or A4, assigned by the Qualifications Evaluation Council of Ontario) and a **step** that advances one level per year of full-time service (up to approximately 11 steps).\n\n**General Wage Increases (GWI) under the 2022–2026 arbitration award:**\n\n| School Year | GWI Applied |\n|-------------|-------------|\n| 2022–23     | +3.0%       |\n| 2023–24     | +3.0%       |\n| 2024–25     | +2.75%      |\n| 2025–26     | +2.5%       |\n| **Compounded total** | **+11.73%** |\n\n**Approximate salary grid — effective September 1, 2025 (2025–26 school year):**\n\n| Category | Entry (Step 1) | Midpoint (Step 6) | Maximum (Step 11) |\n|----------|---------------|-------------------|-------------------|\n| **A1** (BEd + OCT) | ~$53,698 | ~$70,015 | ~$86,340 |\n| **A2** (BEd + 1 specialist) | ~$60,143 | ~$76,174 | ~$92,205 |\n| **A3** (BEd + grad-level AQs) | ~$68,482 | ~$88,655 | ~$108,831 |\n| **A4** (Master's degree or equiv.) | ~$72,337 | ~$94,690 | ~$117,043 |\n\n*Source: OCEOTA 2022–2026 salary grid with 2.5% GWI applied. Verify your board-specific grid against the schedule attached to your local collective agreement.*\n\n**Key points:**\n- Step advancement (annual increment) is automatic for each year of continuous full-time service.\n- Lateral category movement occurs when a teacher completes additional AQ courses recognised by QECO — there is no salary freeze during the assessment period.\n- **Department heads** receive additional allowances negotiated locally, typically ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 per year depending on department size.\n- **Occasional teachers** (supply teachers) are paid on a daily rate grid: approximately $282.46\u002Fday in 2024–25 and $289.52\u002Fday in 2025–26 at the minimum, rising with experience steps.\n\n## Preparation Time and Teaching Load\n\nOne of the most fiercely protected provisions in the secondary teachers' agreement is **preparation time**. Confirmed under the central agreement:\n\n- **Minimum 375 minutes of preparation time per week** for secondary school teachers — equivalent to approximately one full class period per day in a standard timetable.\n- This represents **25 per cent of the instructional week**, a significantly higher entitlement than the 240 minutes (16 per cent) granted to elementary teachers.\n- Maximum course load: **six courses per semester** in semestered schools (or the equivalent load in non-semestered timetables). Assignments beyond this threshold require additional compensation under local terms.\n- **Extra-curricular activities** (coaching, clubs, school productions) remain **fully voluntary** under the central agreement. No teacher can be compelled to run extra-curricular programmes, and this protection is explicitly upheld.\n\nSchool year structure: the calendar comprises a minimum of **194 school days**, including **3 Ministry-directed Professional Activity (PA) days** and up to **4 additional board-directed PA days** (total 6–7 PA days per year). Teachers receive their regular daily salary rate for all PA days.\n\n## Sick Leave and Short-Term Disability\n\nThe current central agreement replaces the prior accumulating sick day bank with a structured **two-tier leave system**:\n\n**Tier 1 — Annual Sick Leave:**\n- **11 sick days per year** at **100 per cent of salary**\n- Renewable each September 1; unused days do not accumulate to the following year in the traditional sense but convert to top-up credits under Tier 2\n\n**Tier 2 — Short-Term Disability Leave Plan (STDLP):**\n- **120 days per school year** at **90 per cent of salary** once Tier 1 days are exhausted\n- Each unused Tier 1 sick day from the current year converts to **10 additional STDLP days payable at 100 per cent** (effectively bridging the 10% gap for those who have conserved Tier 1 days)\n- Medical certification requirements:\n  - Up to 5 consecutive days: principal sign-off sufficient\n  - 6–20 consecutive days: certificate from a licensed medical practitioner required\n  - Beyond 20 days: monthly medical recertification may be required\n\n**Long-Term Disability (LTD):** Once all STDLP days are exhausted, teachers access LTD coverage through the Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan (OTIP), typically at 66.67 per cent of pre-disability salary until age 65 or return to work.\n\n## Vacation and Leave Entitlements\n\nUnlike most workers covered by the Ontario ESA, teachers do not accumulate vacation pay in the conventional sense. **The school calendar itself provides structured paid breaks:**\n\n- **Summer recess:** approximately 9–10 weeks (July–August) — teachers are salaried on a 10-month pay basis spread over 12 months\n- **Winter recess:** approximately 2 weeks (December–January)\n- **March Break:** 1 week (March)\n- **Other statutory days:** 12 school holidays per year (including stat holidays and local board closures)\n\n**Ontario ESA vacation pay note:** Because teachers' salaries already incorporate these structured breaks, the Ontario ESA vacation pay provisions (4% \u002F 6%) are generally considered satisfied by the salary structure. However, occasional teachers on daily supply work accrue vacation pay at 4 per cent of earnings on each paycheque.\n\n**Other leave entitlements under the central agreement:**\n- Bereavement leave: locally negotiated (typically 3–5 days for immediate family, 1–3 days for extended family)\n- Maternity\u002Fparental leave: top-up payments supplementing EI benefits, often to 93 per cent of salary for the first 17 weeks (varies by district)\n- Personal leave days: locally negotiated\n- Professional development leave for graduate studies: available with board approval in many districts\n\n## Notice Period and Severance (Ontario ESA)\n\nBecause OSSTF members are provincially regulated, the **Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000** governs statutory minimums for termination:\n\n**Notice of Termination (Ontario ESA s. 57):**\n- Less than 1 year of service: 1 week notice\n- 1 to fewer than 3 years: 2 weeks\n- 3 to fewer than 4 years: 3 weeks\n- Continuing: 1 additional week per completed year, up to a **maximum of 8 weeks**\n\n**Severance Pay (Ontario ESA s. 64):**\nApplies if the employee has **5 or more years of service** AND the employer has a payroll of $2.5 million or more (all school boards qualify):\n- 1 week's pay per year of service, up to a **maximum of 26 weeks**\n\n**Important:** These are statutory *floors*. The collective agreement, board practices, or common law reasonable notice may provide significantly higher entitlements. Teachers should consult their OSSTF district staff representative before accepting any termination package.\n\n## CPP, EI, and the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP)\n\n**Canada Pension Plan (CPP) — 2025 rates:**\n- Employee contribution: **5.95%** on earnings between the basic exemption ($3,500) and the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE, approximately $71,300 for 2025)\n- Maximum annual CPP contribution: approximately $4,034\n- **CPP2:** An additional **4%** on earnings between the YMPE and the Year's Additional Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YAMPE, approximately $81,900) — maximum additional contribution ~$426\u002Fyear\n\n**Employment Insurance (EI) — 2025 rates:**\n- Employee premium: **1.64%** of insurable earnings up to maximum insurable earnings (~$65,700)\n- Maximum annual EI premium: approximately $1,078\n- Teachers on full-time salary are EI-insured; however, EI eligibility during summer recess depends on whether the employment relationship continues (typically it does, so most permanent teachers are not EI-eligible for the summer break)\n\n**Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP):**\nThe centrepiece of long-term financial security for OSSTF members. OTPP is one of the world's largest pension funds with net assets exceeding $279 billion (2025).\n\n- **Plan type:** Defined Benefit — your pension is guaranteed regardless of investment performance\n- **Contribution rates (2025):**\n  - Earnings up to CPP YMPE (~$73,200): **10.4% employee \u002F 10.4% employer** (dollar-for-dollar match)\n  - Earnings above YMPE: **12.0% employee \u002F 12.0% employer**\n- **Benefit formula:** 2% × years of credited service × \"best 5 years\" average salary\n  - Example: 30 years of service, average salary $90,000 → **$54,000\u002Fyear pension** (indexed to inflation)\n- **Rule of 85 early retirement:** Age + years of service ≥ 85 (e.g., age 55 + 30 years)\n- **Inflation protection:** Full indexing provided while the plan maintains its fully funded status (current as of 2025)\n\n## Key Changes in the 2022–2026 Agreement\n\n**1. Wage restoration after Bill 124**\nThe government's Bill 124 (2019) artificially capped public sector wage increases at 1% per year. The Ontario Superior Court struck it down as unconstitutional in 2022. The 2022–2026 arbitration award, delivered in May 2024, restored full bargaining rights and provided a compounded 11.73% total wage increase — the largest for Ontario teachers in over a decade.\n\n**2. Retroactive pay**\nTeachers received retroactive adjustments for the 2022–23 and 2023–24 school years as part of the arbitration settlement.\n\n**3. Sick leave task force**\nA joint labour-management task force was established to review attendance management practices and return-to-work programmes, with a target completion of August 31, 2025.\n\n**4. LTD committee**\nA new committee was mandated to explore an updated education worker Long-Term Disability insurance plan.\n\n**5. Binding interest arbitration pathway**\nOSSTF members voted in 2023 to pursue binding interest arbitration rather than traditional strike action, resulting in the May 2024 Kaplan Award. This model may influence future bargaining.\n\n## How to Use This Free Calculator\n\nUnderstanding your collective agreement is one thing; calculating what it means for your paycheque is another.

For the 2025–26 school year, experienced A4-category teachers can earn over $117,000 per year, while new A1 teachers start above $53,000 — both reflecting compounded wage restoration after years of suppression. Understanding these provisions fully — and using the free calculator below to model your individual situation — ensures you can plan your finances and know your rights with confidence.\n\n---\n\n*Calculations are indicative only and do not constitute legal advice.

Covering the period from **1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026**, this agreement defines wages, shift premiums, overtime entitlements, vacation, pension contributions, and dozens of other provisions that shape life on the wards each day.\n\nThis guide explains what the ONA–OHA Central Agreement means for you in plain language. Whether you are a new graduate RN stepping onto a hospital floor for the first time, or an experienced charge nurse planning for retirement, understanding your collective agreement is the first step to claiming what you have earned. Use the **free calculator** on this page to estimate your take-home pay, overtime earnings, vacation entitlement, and termination notice.\n\n---\n\n## Who Is Covered by the ONA–OHA Agreement?\n\nThe ONA represents approximately **68,000 registered nurses (RNs) and allied health professionals** across Ontario. The hospital sector central agreement, negotiated between ONA and the OHA, covers RNs working in acute-care hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and complex-continuing-care settings that belong to the OHA bargaining group.\n\nRegistered Practical Nurses (RPNs) are generally covered under separate bargaining units, often represented by CUPE or other unions, though some ONA locals include RPNs in their scope. The central agreement sets minimum standards; individual hospital locals may bargain **local terms** on top of the central provisions through their own local agreements.\n\nAllied health professionals — nurse practitioners, clinical instructors, occupational health nurses — may fall under separate ONA agreements specific to their employer or region. If you are unsure which agreement covers your position, contact your local ONA bargaining unit president.\n\n---\n\n## Current Wage Rates and Pay Grid (2024–2026)\n\nThe ONA hospital wage grid uses a step-based progression tied to months of service as an RN. The grid rewards experience: nurses advance through steps as they accumulate working time, reaching the top (maximum) step after approximately 30 months of eligible service.\n\nFollowing the Ontario Court of Appeal's November 2023 ruling that **Bill 124 was unconstitutional**, nurses became entitled to retroactive pay adjustments for the period during which their wages had been artificially capped at a 1% annual increase. The 2024–2026 central agreement incorporates a restored pay scale that reflects the wage levels nurses should have reached absent Bill 124, plus additional negotiated increases.\n\n**Approximate RN hourly rates under the 2024–2026 central agreement:**\n\n| Grid Step | Months of Service | Approx. Hourly Rate (2024) |\n|-----------|-------------------|---------------------------|\n| Step 1 | Start | ~$39.50\u002Fhr |\n| Step 2 | 6 months | ~$41.90\u002Fhr |\n| Step 3 | 12 months | ~$44.30\u002Fhr |\n| Step 4 | 18 months | ~$46.40\u002Fhr |\n| Step 5 | 24 months | ~$49.60\u002Fhr |\n| Step 6 | 30 months | ~$53.00\u002Fhr |\n| Step 7 | 36 months | ~$55.40\u002Fhr |\n| Step 8 (Max) | 48 months | ~$58.50\u002Fhr |\n\n*Note: These figures are indicative. The binding wage schedule is set out in Appendix 1 of the collective agreement. Additional increases apply effective 1 April 2025 under the second year of the agreement.*\n\n**Retroactive pay:** Nurses who were employed during the Bill 124 period (2019–2023) were entitled to retroactive payments once the restoration was agreed. Lump-sum retroactive amounts were calculated based on the difference between the capped wage and the restored wage for each year of service affected.\n\n**Nurse Practitioner (NP) rates** are negotiated separately and typically sit above the RN grid, reflecting expanded scope of practice and prescriptive authority.\n\n---\n\n## Overtime Rules and Shift Premiums\n\n### Overtime Entitlements\n\nThe ONA–OHA central agreement provides overtime protection that **exceeds** the Ontario *Employment Standards Act, 2000* (ESA) minimums, making it a key benefit of union coverage.\n\nUnder the central agreement:\n- **Overtime begins after 8 hours worked in a single shift.** Overtime hours are paid at **1.5× (time-and-a-half)** your regular hourly rate.\n- **Double-time (2×)** applies after 12 consecutive hours worked in a shift, and for all hours worked on a **statutory holiday**.\n- Overtime must not be required to be taken as time off in lieu unless the nurse agrees in writing.\n\nBy comparison, Ontario's ESA requires overtime pay only after **44 hours per week** — a much weaker standard. The collective agreement's daily-hour trigger provides nurses substantially better protection given 12-hour shift scheduling common in hospitals.\n\n### Shift Premiums\n\nThe collective agreement provides hourly premium payments for working outside standard daytime hours:\n\n| Shift Type | Premium (per hour) |\n|------------|--------------------|\n| Evening shift | **+$1.40\u002Fhr** |\n| Night shift | **+$1.80\u002Fhr** |\n| Weekend | **+$2.25\u002Fhr** |\n\nThese premiums are **additive** — a nurse working a weekend night shift earns both the night premium and the weekend premium simultaneously. Premiums are calculated on top of the regular hourly rate for those hours worked and are included in earnings for purposes of overtime calculation.\n\n**On-call and callback pay** provisions also apply; nurses recalled to work outside scheduled hours are entitled to a minimum number of hours' pay at overtime rates, ensuring that callbacks are compensated fairly.\n\n---\n\n## Vacation and Leave Entitlements\n\n### Vacation Entitlement\n\nThe ONA–OHA agreement provides vacation entitlement on a length-of-service basis that meets or exceeds Ontario ESA minimums:\n\n| Years of Service | Vacation Entitlement | Vacation Pay |\n|-----------------|---------------------|--------------|\n| Less than 5 years | 3 weeks | 6% of annual earnings |\n| 5 to 9 years | 4 weeks | 8% of annual earnings |\n| 10 to 19 years | 5 weeks | 10% of annual earnings |\n| 20+ years | 6 weeks | 12% of annual earnings |\n\nFor comparison, Ontario's ESA requires only 2 weeks (4% pay) for workers with under 5 years, and 3 weeks (6% pay) thereafter — demonstrating the significant advantage of ONA bargaining.\n\nVacation scheduling is governed by seniority: more senior nurses have first pick of vacation periods during the scheduling windows. Local agreements may specify the scheduling process and maximum number of nurses absent simultaneously.\n\n### Other Leave Provisions\n\n- **Sick leave \u002F Short-term disability:** Nurses accumulate sick leave credits or access a short-term income protection plan (STIP) administered through the agreement, providing income replacement during illness.\n- **Pregnancy and parental leave:** Aligned with Ontario ESA minimums, with top-up provisions that supplement Employment Insurance benefits for a defined period.\n- **Bereavement leave:** Paid leave for the death of immediate family members.\n- **Professional development leave:** Paid or unpaid leave to attend nursing education, conferences, or pursue advanced certifications.\n- **Family responsibility leave:** Unpaid leave as per Ontario ESA s.50.0.1 for urgent family matters.\n\n---\n\n## Notice Period and Severance Pay\n\n### Ontario ESA Statutory Notice (s.57–64)\n\nAlthough ONA nurses are regulated under Ontario provincial jurisdiction (not the federal *Canada Labour Code*), the Ontario *Employment Standards Act, 2000* sets the statutory floor for termination notice and severance.\n\n**Statutory notice (ESA s.57):**\n\n| Years of Employment | Minimum Notice |\n|---------------------|----------------|\n| Less than 1 year | 1 week |\n| 1 to 3 years | 2 weeks |\n| 3 to 4 years | 3 weeks |\n| 4 to 5 years | 4 weeks |\n| 5 to 6 years | 5 weeks |\n| 6 to 7 years | 6 weeks |\n| 7 to 8 years | 7 weeks |\n| 8+ years | 8 weeks (maximum statutory) |\n\n**Severance pay (ESA s.64)** applies separately when:\n- An employee has at least 5 years of service, **and**\n- The employer has a total Ontario payroll of $2.5 million or more (hospitals virtually always qualify).\n\nSeverance is calculated at **1 week of regular wages per completed year of employment**, capped at 26 weeks. Note that notice and severance are **separate entitlements** — an employee dismissed without cause may be entitled to both.\n\n**Common law notice:** Courts may award substantially greater damages — often one month per year of service for professional employees — where the collective agreement or ESA minimums do not apply. ONA's grievance process provides an additional layer of protection beyond individual common law claims.\n\nThe collective agreement itself may contain specific provisions on notice, layoffs, recall rights, and bumping (displacement of junior nurses by senior nurses facing layoff), which often provide stronger protection than the statutory minimum.\n\n---\n\n## CPP, EI, and Your HOOPP Pension\n\n### Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Contributions — 2025\n\nAs Ontario hospital nurses are provincially regulated employees, **CPP contributions** apply to all earnings. Current 2025 rates:\n\n- **Employee CPP rate:** 5.95% on earnings between the basic exemption ($3,500) and the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE, ~$71,300)\n- **Maximum CPP contribution (employee):** approximately $4,034\u002Fyear\n- **CPP2 enhanced contribution:** an additional 4% on earnings between YMPE and the Year's Additional Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YAMPE, ~$81,900)\n- **Maximum CPP2 (employee):** approximately $426\u002Fyear\n\n### Employment Insurance (EI) Premiums — 2025\n\n- **Employee EI rate:** 1.64% of insurable earnings\n- **Maximum insurable earnings:** approximately $65,700\n- **Maximum employee premium:** approximately $1,078\u002Fyear\n- **Employer premium:** employee premium × 1.4\n\n### HOOPP — Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan\n\nONA hospital nurses are enrolled in **HOOPP**, one of Canada's strongest defined-benefit pension plans. Unlike defined-contribution plans, HOOPP guarantees a specific monthly benefit based on your earnings and years of service, providing predictable retirement income.\n\n**2025 HOOPP contribution rates (unchanged through 2027):**\n\n| Earnings Range | Employee Contribution Rate |\n|----------------|---------------------------|\n| Up to YMPE | **6.9%** of earnings |\n| Above YMPE | **9.2%** of earnings |\n\n**Employer contribution:** For every dollar you contribute, your employer contributes $1.26 — providing an exceptional employer match.\n\n**Benefit formula:** For each year of service, you earn:\n- 1.5% of your best five-year average earnings up to the average YMPE, **plus**\n- 2.0% of your best five-year average earnings above the average YMPE\n\nHOOPP's investment performance means that 80 cents of every pension dollar paid comes from investment returns — your contributions go further than a savings account. For a nurse working 30 years at an average of $55,000 annually, HOOPP may provide approximately $22,500–$25,000 per year in indexed retirement income.\n\n---\n\n## Key Changes in This Agreement (2024–2026)\n\nThe 2024–2026 agreement is notable for several significant departures from its predecessor:\n\n1. **Bill 124 wage restoration:** The most significant change. After the Ontario Court of Appeal struck down Bill 124 in November 2023, ONA negotiated the restoration of wages that had been suppressed, along with retroactive lump-sum payments for affected nurses.\n\n2. **Enhanced wage increases:** In addition to restoration, the agreement includes negotiated annual wage increases for 2024 and 2025, helping to address both inflation and the severe nursing retention crisis in Ontario's hospitals.\n\n3. **Nurse-to-patient ratio provisions:** The agreement includes strengthened language around staffing levels, workload tools, and nurse-to-patient ratios — acknowledging that unsafe staffing is a patient safety issue as well as a worker protection issue.\n\n4. **Mental health supports:** Expanded Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) coverage with improved access to mental health professionals, reflecting the widespread burnout and psychological injury experienced by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n5. **Scheduling improvements:** New provisions addressing equitable distribution of weekends, premium pay for short-notice schedule changes, and enhanced protections against mandatory overtime.\n\n---\n\n## How to Use This Free Calculator\n\nThe **ONA Nurses Ontario Free Calculator** on this page helps you estimate:\n\n- **Wages & Tax (Tab 1):** Enter your hourly rate and hours worked to see gross pay, CPP, EI, and estimated federal income tax deductions — and your approximate net pay.\n- **Overtime & Premiums (Tab 2):** Calculate the value of shift premiums (evening, night, weekend) and overtime hours at 1.5× or 2×.\n- **Vacation Pay (Tab 3):** Estimate your vacation pay entitlement based on years of service and annual earnings, under both the collective agreement and Ontario ESA minimums.\n- **Notice & Severance (Tab 4):** Enter your years of service to see statutory notice and severance obligations under Ontario ESA.\n- **CPP & EI (Tab 5):** Calculate annual CPP, CPP2, and EI contributions — and what your employer pays on your behalf.\n- **Statutory Holidays (Tab 6):** See the value of each statutory holiday at your rate, and calculate premium pay if you work on a stat holiday.\n\nAll calculations use 2025 rates and are updated for the current collective agreement period.

For the approximately ","# PSAC Collective Agreement — Complete Guide to Your Rights and Pay 2026\n\nThe Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) is the largest federal public service union in Canada, representing over 230,000 workers across 79 federal departments and agencies. For the approximately 155,000 members of the Programme and Administrative Services (PA) Group — the largest bargaining unit in the entire federal public service — the collective agreement with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) governs every aspect of employment: wages, overtime, vacation, leave, and job security.\n\nThe most recent PA Group agreement, signed in June 2023 after a historic 17-day strike in April of that year, secured a compounded wage increase of 12.6% over four years plus a $2,500 pensionable lump sum. As of May 2026, bargaining for the next round is underway. This guide explains the key provisions of the agreement as they stand today, including the wage rates effective June 21, 2024, and the federal payroll deductions that apply in 2025.\n\nWhether you are a clerical worker at CR-4, an administrative services officer at AS-3, or a programme administrator at PM-5, this guide — combined with our free PSAC calculator below — will help you understand exactly what you are owed.\n\n---\n\n## Who Is Covered by the PSAC PA Group Agreement?\n\nThe PA Group is a federation of five occupational sub-groups, all bargained under one master collective agreement with TBS:\n\n- **CR — Clerical and Regulatory** (administrative support, data entry, client services)\n- **AS — Administrative Services** (programme officers, finance officers, policy analysts)\n- **PM — Programme Administration** (immigration officers, fishery officers, benefits officers)\n- **IS — Information Services** (communications advisors, media relations, web content)\n- **CM — Communications** (public affairs, media production)\n- **WP — Welfare Programmes** (social workers, income security officers)\n- **ST — Secretarial, Stenographic and Typing** (executive assistants, court reporters)\n\nIf your letter of offer or pay stub shows one of these group codes, this agreement applies to you. Employees covered by other PSAC bargaining units — such as SV (Operational Services), TC (Technical Services), or EB (Education and Library Science) — have separate but structurally similar agreements.\n\nAll PA Group employees are federally regulated under the *Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act* (FPSLRA). This means the *Canada Labour Code* (CLC) sets the statutory floor for most employment standards, though the collective agreement often provides considerably better terms.\n\n---\n\n## Current Wage Rates and Pay Grid (Effective June 21, 2024)\n\nThe final wage schedule under the 2023–2025 agreement took effect on June 21, 2024 (the \"Z\" pay line), incorporating a 0.25% pay line adjustment on top of the 2% increase from June 2023. All rates are annual CAD amounts for a 37.5-hour workweek (7.5 hours per day, five days per week, 1,957.5 hours per year).\n\n**Clerical and Regulatory (CR) Group — June 21, 2024**\n\n| Level | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 | Step 4 |\n|-------|--------|--------|--------|--------|\n| CR-1 | $41,947 | $42,820 | $43,708 | $44,593 |\n| CR-2 | $45,531 | $46,581 | $47,614 | $48,654 |\n| CR-3 | $51,642 | $52,996 | $54,350 | $55,707 |\n| CR-4 | $57,217 | $58,738 | $60,255 | $61,761 |\n| CR-5 | $62,533 | $64,250 | $65,986 | $67,699 |\n| CR-6 | $71,176 | $73,048 | $74,903 | $76,779 |\n| CR-7 | $78,952 | $81,137 | $83,324 | $85,533 |\n\n**Administrative Services (AS) \u002F Programme Administration (PM) — June 21, 2024**\n\n| Level | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 |\n|-------|--------|--------|--------|\n| AS\u002FPM-1 | $61,786 | $64,135 | $66,572 |\n| AS\u002FPM-2 | $68,849 | $71,464 | $74,180 |\n| AS\u002FPM-3 | $73,798 | $76,599 | $79,511 |\n| AS\u002FPM-4 | $80,612 | $83,675 | $87,108 |\n| AS\u002FPM-5 | $96,235 | $99,892 | $104,044 |\n| AS\u002FPM-6 | $107,193 | $111,267 | $115,642 |\n| AS\u002FPM-7 | $112,834 | $117,128 | $121,573 |\n\nTo convert annual salary to hourly rate: divide by 1,957.5. For example, a CR-4 Step 2 ($58,738) earns approximately **$30.01\u002Fhour**.\n\nCompensation advisors at CR-5 and AS-1 to AS-3 are eligible for a **retention allowance of $3,500\u002Fyear** ($13.42 per calendar day). Fishery Officers (PM group) receive an additional **$6,500\u002Fyear** fishery officer allowance.\n\n---\n\n## Overtime Rules and Shift Premiums\n\nThe PA Group agreement provides overtime provisions that exceed the statutory minimums under the *Canada Labour Code*.\n\n### Overtime Rates (Article 28)\n\nOvertime is authorized in advance by the employer. The rates are:\n\n- **Scheduled workday**: 1.5× your hourly rate for the first 7.5 consecutive hours of overtime beyond the normal workday; 2× (double time) for each hour thereafter\n- **First day of rest**: 1.5× for the first 7.5 hours, then 2× for additional hours\n- **Second or subsequent consecutive day of rest**: 2× (double time) for all hours worked\n- **Call-back**: If called back to work outside your shift and the assignment is not contiguous with your shift, you are entitled to the greater of 3 hours at the applicable overtime rate, or actual hours worked. The maximum call-back compensation payable in any 8-hour period is 8 hours.\n\nFor clarity: if you normally work 7.5 hours a day and are asked to work 3 additional hours on a scheduled workday, you earn 3 × 1.5× for those first 3 hours. This is considerably more generous than the standard CLC threshold of 8 hours\u002Fday or 40 hours\u002Fweek.\n\n### Shift and Weekend Premiums (Article 27)\n\nFor employees on rotating or irregular shifts:\n\n- **Evening\u002FNight premium**: **$2.25 per hour** for all hours worked between 4:00 PM and 8:00 AM\n- **Weekend premium**: **$2.25 per hour** for hours worked on Saturday and\u002For Sunday as part of a shift schedule\n\nThese premiums are stackable — an employee working a night shift on a Saturday night earns an additional **$4.50\u002Fhour** above their base rate. Premiums also apply to overtime hours worked in those windows, though they are not included in the base rate for overtime calculation purposes.\n\n---\n\n## Vacation and Leave Entitlements\n\nThe PA Group vacation entitlement significantly exceeds the minimums under the *Canada Labour Code* (CLC: 2 weeks\u002F4% for the first 4 years, 3 weeks\u002F6% after 5 years). Federal public servants earn vacation credits monthly based on years of service:\n\n| Years of Continuous Employment | Vacation Credits (per month) | Approximate Days\u002FYear |\n|-------------------------------|------------------------------|----------------------|\n| 0 to 7 years | 9.375 hours | 15 days |\n| 8 to 15 years | 12.5 hours | 20 days |\n| Year 16 | 13.75 hours | 22 days |\n| Year 17 | 14.4 hours | ~23 days |\n| 18 to 26 years | 15.625 hours | 25 days |\n| Year 27 | 16.875 hours | 27 days |\n| 28 years or more | 18.75 hours | 30 days |\n\nThe vacation year runs from **April 1 to March 31**. A minimum of 75 hours of pay in a calendar month is required for full vacation credit accrual that month. Unused vacation must generally be taken before the end of the vacation year, though carry-over arrangements exist with employer approval.\n\nBeyond vacation, the agreement provides for sick leave (9.375 hours\u002Fmonth), family-related leave (up to 5 days per year), bereavement leave (up to 5 days), and personal leave (1 day per year). Maternity and parental leave top-ups bring government parental benefits to approximately 93% of regular weekly earnings for up to 35 weeks.\n\n---\n\n## Notice Period and Severance\n\n### Termination Notice (CLC s.230)\n\nFor employees subject to the *Canada Labour Code*, the statutory minimum notice is 2 weeks after 3 months of continuous employment. The PA Group agreement does not prescribe a separate notice scale beyond this statutory floor, but employees facing lay-off are entitled to:\n\n- Written notice of the lay-off (or pay in lieu)\n- Priority redeployment to other positions in the federal public service\n- Transition support measures under the Work Force Adjustment Directive (WFAD)\n\n### Severance Pay\n\nSeverance pay under the PA Group agreement historically rewarded long service, but entitlement to severance on resignation and retirement was negotiated away in earlier rounds. As of the current agreement, severance pay applies in the following situations:\n\n- **Lay-off (involuntary)**: 2 weeks' pay for the first year of continuous employment, plus 1 week's pay for each subsequent complete year, to a maximum of 28 weeks\n- **Death**: the same formula, payable to the employee's estate\n\nFor context, the CLC (s.235) provides 2 days of wages per year of service for terminated employees with 12+ months of service (minimum 5 days, maximum 40 days). The PA Group severance formula is more generous on lay-off.\n\nCommon law reasonable notice — which can provide significantly greater compensation, typically calculated at approximately 1 month per year of service for white-collar workers — is a separate legal right that exists alongside the collective agreement.\n\n---\n\n## CPP, EI, and Federal Benefits\n\nFederal public servants participate in a **defined benefit (DB) pension** under the *Public Service Superannuation Act* (PSSA), administered by the Public Services and Procurement Canada pension centre. Employee contribution rates to PSSA are roughly **8–10% of salary** depending on the accrual tier — a significant benefit compared to the CPP alone.\n\nIn addition to the PSSA, the standard federal payroll deductions apply:\n\n### Canada Pension Plan (CPP) — 2025\n\n- **CPP1 employee rate**: 5.95% on earnings between the basic exemption ($3,500) and the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings (**$71,300** for 2025)\n- **Maximum CPP1 employee contribution**: **$4,034.10\u002Fyear**\n- **CPP2 employee rate**: 4.0% on earnings between $71,300 and the Year's Additional Maximum Pensionable Earnings (**$81,200** for 2025)\n- **Maximum CPP2 employee contribution**: **$396.00\u002Fyear**\n\n### Employment Insurance (EI) — 2025\n\n- **Employee EI premium rate**: 1.64% of insurable earnings\n- **Maximum Insurable Earnings (MIE)**: **$65,700**\n- **Maximum annual employee EI premium**: **$1,077.48**\n\nFederal public servants continue to pay EI premiums and may collect regular EI benefits if laid off, even as employees of the Crown.\n\n### Federal Income Tax — 2025\n\nFederal income tax brackets for 2025 (blended rates apply due to the mid-year tax rate reduction):\n\n| Taxable Income | 2025 Rate |\n|----------------|-----------|\n| Up to $57,375 | 14.5% (blended) |\n| $57,376 – $114,750 | 20.5% |\n| $114,751 – $177,882 | 26.0% |\n| $177,883 – $253,414 | 29.0% |\n| Over $253,414 | 33.0% |\n\nThe 2025 Basic Personal Amount (BPA) is **$16,129** for individuals with income up to $177,882. Note that provincial income tax is additional and varies by province — federal public servants across Canada pay different effective total rates.\n\n---\n\n## Key Changes in the 2023 Agreement\n\nThe 2023 PA Group agreement, ratified after a landmark strike action in April 2023, introduced several significant improvements:\n\n1. **Wage increases**: A compounded 12.6% increase over four years (2021–2025), plus a $2,500 one-time pensionable lump sum payment\n2. **Remote work language**: New Article 46 formalising the hybrid work framework, requiring that remote work arrangements be based on operational requirements and that employees receive written reasons for any changes to approved telework agreements\n3. **Overtime tracking**: Improved obligations on the employer to offer overtime equitably among qualified employees\n4. **Emergency leave**: Enhanced provisions for leave with pay during declared emergencies\n5. **Anti-harassment**: Strengthened language obliging the employer to investigate harassment complaints within defined timeframes\n\nThe 2025 round of bargaining (for the next agreement, effective June 21, 2025 and onward) is currently underway as of May 2026. No tentative agreement has been announced. Employees should monitor PSAC's official website for updates.\n\n---\n\n## How to Use This Free Calculator\n\nOur free PSAC federal public service calculator below has six tabs designed to help you estimate your pay and entitlements:\n\n1. **Wages & Tax** — Enter your annual salary (or select your group and level) to see your estimated net pay after CPP, EI, and federal income tax deductions.
