  3. Economic Stability Dividend - 0.35%

    Last November, the provincial government announced stronger than forecast economic growth in 2015. This resulted in an additional modest salary increase of 0.35% for B.C. public sector employees this year.

    This is the second Economic Stability Dividend payout. Last year, public-sector employees received a 0.45% increase.
     

  4. Step progression

    Members, who are at step 7 or below in the salary range, will receive a one-step increase. This is effective on July 1 of each year. It is based on satisfactory performance.
     

    1. Temporary Employees
      Temporary employees are eligible for a step increase if employed in the same temporary position for six months prior to this date (policy AD 10.06, section 4). If you do not see a step increase to your salary after July 1, please contact your supervisor or a Human Resources Advisor.

    2. Probation
      Employees on probation will receive a step increase upon the successful completion of their probationary period. See policy AD 10.22 for details. 

The annual and biweekly salary scales have been updated with the increases. They can be viewed on HR’s APSA information web page, under “Salary”.
