Notes on the Core Public Administration + Statutory Tiers
- Canadian federal pay spans two streams: (1) Core Public Administration under TBS collective agreements — classification codes (EC, PM, AS, IT, EX, etc.) with numeric levels, revised on bargaining cycles; (2) Statutory positions paid directly under specific Acts.
- Statutory tiers: Judges (Judges Act s.9-11), Parliamentarians (Parliament of Canada Act s.55.1, 62), Prime Minister + Cabinet (Salaries Act s.4.1), and the full Governor in Council senior-appointee schedule from the Privy Council Office — EX 1-5, DM 1-4, GC 1-10 (agency heads, Crown corps), and GCQ 1-10 (quasi-judicial tribunals) with 2025-26 salary ranges.
- TBS collective agreement rates are mirrored from the canonical source at fedpay.ca for the Canada segment, hand-verified against TBS original notifications.
- Statutory tier values are the in-force annual salaries as of 2024-06-20 (Judges Act amendment) and 2024-2025 fiscal year (Parliament/Salaries Acts, indexed per s.67.1).
