Search Government Position Reclassifications

On February 25, 2004, the government announced the mandatory publication of information concerning the reclassification of positions in the Public Service of Canada.

This web site provides information on the reclassification of positions by department and agencies on a quarterly basis.

The rules and principles governing the reclassification of positions are outlined in the Appendix I of the  Directive on Classification.

Reclassification of positions in the Public Service of Canada is an important and necessary business management option. However, when contemplating changes to a position that may result in reclassification, management must endeavour to ensure the proper, effective and efficient use of public money. The cost implication associated with upward reclassification must be known, transparent and support accountability for classification decisions.

Government-Wide Position Reclassification Departmental Web Sites information on these websites will be updated every three months, starting in October 2004.

Please note that information that would normally be withheld under the  Access to Information Act or the  Privacy Act does not appear on this web site.
