Treasurer seeks reclassification series to retain staff; committee urges retaining entry-level path
Summary
Treasurer Cheryl Paul proposed reclassifying two deputy treasurers upward to better reflect responsibilities and improve retention; the committee supported the retention rationale but directed staff to create a series (deputy 1/deputy 2/chief) so future hires can start at an entry level.
Cheryl Paul presented a request to reclassify two deputy treasurer positions (move two deputies from E8 to E9 this year and eventually raise the administrative deputy) citing cross-training responsibilities, degree attainment among current staff, and retention concerns. She proposed phasing the change over two years and noted that eliminating the seasonal temporary position could offset some cost in the first year.
Committee members said they supported compensating incumbent staff and creating career progression but were concerned that reclassifying both positions permanently would remove an entry-level step for future hires. Staff suggested creating a deputy series (deputy 1 / deputy 2 / administrative deputy) and coordinating with the employee association; the committee agreed that the series approach would preserve hiring flexibility and recommended staff work with HR and the union to formalize the plan.
