TREASURY BOARD DELAYS IMPLEMENTATION OF SHORT TERM DISABILITY PLAN

April 17, 2015 — Negotiators for members of PIPSC’s SH Group have been told by Treasury Board (TB) representatives that the federal government cannot meet its proposed implementation date of September 1st, 2016 for its new Short Term Disability (STD) plan.
While Treasury Board has been pressing Groups to receive a presentation about the government’s proposed Short Term Disability plan, the invitations were issued at the last minute which did not provide President Debi Daviau and Vice President Shannon Bittman with sufficient time to adjust their schedules and attend.
TB subsequently proposed additional dates to receive the sick leave presentation, and based on their more reasonable request, PIPSC will announce its agreement to receive the government’s presentation next week at the NR Table.
