The Corporate Services Committee submits the following joint report (July20, 1998) from the Commissioner of
Corporate Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources:
Purpose:
This report recommends the conditions of employment for Council staff members.
Financial Implications:
The funding for these positions is accommodated in each Councillor's 1998 salary budgets.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)Council staff members (Executive Assistant, Constituency Assistant, Administrative Assistant, and Clerical Assistant)
employed:
(a)on or before December 31, 1997, as permanent or temporary employees remain as permanent or temporary employees
with the City of Toronto;
(b)on or before December 31, 1997, as contract employees be employed under the terms and conditions of the respective
employment contract attached as Appendix "A" except for those employees of the former Municipality of Metropolitan
Toronto who may choose to remain on their existing contract;
(c)on or after January 1, 1998, be employed under the terms and conditions of the respective employment contract

(2)any salary adjustment resulting from the review of the updated Executive Assistant job description be implemented
retroactive to January 1, 1998, or the employee's start date; whichever is later;

"A");
(4)upon electing to participate in OMERS, provided that the minimum requirements under the Pension Benefits Act,
R.S.O. 1990 have been met, employees be permitted the opportunity to buy back their service; and that this buy back cost
be equally shared between the employee and the City of Toronto;
(5)Council staff not be eligible to receive cash in lieu of benefits;
(6)Council staff who are currently in receipt of cash in lieu of benefits be "grandfathered" until the review of benefit plans
is completed and changes are approved by Council; and that the contracts for such staff reflect this provision;
(7)Council Executive Assistant and Constituency Assistant staff who work in excess of their regularly scheduled workday
or workweek be compensated in the form of lieu time at a straight time rate provided that the total lieu time taken shall not
exceed 105 hours in a calendar year;
(8)Council Administrative Assistants and Clerical Assistants who work in excess of their regularly scheduled workday or
workweek be compensated in the form of lieu time at time and a half provided that the total lieu time taken shall not
exceed 70 hours in a calendar year, or in the form of overtime pay, subject to the approval of their respective Councillor;
and
(9)staff be authorized to take whatever steps necessary to implement the foregoing.
Background History:
City Council on January 2, 6, 8 and 9, 1998 adopted the following:
(1)each Councillor be given the latitude to hire the equivalent of three (3) full time staff from the following
classifications: Executive Assistant, Constituency Assistant, Administrative Assistant and Clerical Assistant;
(2)on an interim basis, the salary range for the Executive Assistant and the Constituency Assistant be that of the
Executive Assistant in the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and the salary range for the Administrative
Assistant and the Clerical Assistant be that of the Administrative Assistant and the Clerk Grade 3 position in the former
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto;
(3)all permanent former 'City' or 'Metro' employees retain their permanent employment status and those earning in
excess of the City recommended salary ranges have their salaries red-circled;
The attached report was before the Corporate Services Committee on April 27, 1998. The Executive Director of Human
Resources was asked by the Corporate Services Committee to meet with affected contract Council staff members to
review the proposed employment contract.
Comments:
(1)Employment Status of Council Staff:
Council staff members in the former municipalities in comparable positions to the Executive Assistant, Constituency
Assistant, Administrative Assistant and Clerical Assistant were classified as permanent, temporary or contract. The
permanent and temporary staff are either excluded or bargaining unit based on their employment status and position
classification with their former municipality.
Council staff who currently members of a bargaining unit will remain in the bargaining unit and will continue to receive
their existing salary and benefits, pending collective agreement negotiations.
The term of employment for contract Council staff members at the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was until
30 days following the day on which a Councillor ceased to be a Member of the Metropolitan Council for whatever reason.
For those staff who have continued to be employed by the same Councillor, their contract is still in effect. However, it is
recommended that they be given an opportunity to be employed under the terms and conditions of the contract approved
by Council. This will assist in standardizing the employment relationship of Council staff members.
(2)Concerns of Council Staff Members:
The Executive Director of Human Resources was asked by the Corporate Services Committee to meet with affected
contract Council staff members to review their specific concerns with the proposed employment contract.
On May 11, 1998, the Executive Director met with Council staff members where concerns were expressed with respect to
paid lieu time at straight time to a maximum of 105 hours, the option to receive cash in lieu of benefits, pensions,
severance and salary.
Staff have addressed the majority of the concerns discussed at the meeting. The only exception is the recommendation to
compensate staff for overtime worked in the form of lieu time instead of pay. This is an area where human resources staff
strongly recommend standardization of contract terms for all Council staff.
The former municipalities of Metropolitan Toronto, North York, Scarborough and Toronto had employment contracts for
designated Council staff members. It was agreed that the significant employment conditions contained in the employment
contracts of these former municipalities and the proposed contract for the City of Toronto would be illustrated for the
Corporate Services Committee in this report (Appendix "B") for comparison purposes.
The appropriateness of the Executive Assistant salary was also discussed at the meeting. The salary level for the Executive
Assistant is based on the job evaluation rating from the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. Council staff
expressed a desire to update the rating, since it had not been updated for several years and, in their opinion, the
responsibilities and scope of the position have changed over time.
Though this position will be included as part of the overall corporate review of the City's Compensation Program, it was
agreed that on an interim basis, an updated Executive Assistant job description would be developed and rated in
accordance with the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto's job evaluation system. It was stressed that, in
accordance with the policy for job evaluation, each Executive Assistant and each Councillor would have to agree to the
contents of the job evaluation questionnaire prior to the rating process being implemented.
(3)Severance Provisions Recommended by the Former City of Toronto Council:
On November 18, 1997, Council of the former City of Toronto adopted a recommendation that:
(1)the contract staff of those members of Council who were not elected on November10, 1997, be offered the same
severance package as is available to members of Council, i.e., one month of salary for every year of service, up to a
maximum of six months;
(2)staff be authorized to take whatever steps are necessary to implement the foregoing; and
(3)the appropriate staff report to the new City of Toronto Council on including a severance package for all contracted
political staff employed by Members of Council.
The Financial Advisory Board turned this recommendation down, on the basis that it should be considered by the new
Council of the new City of Toronto.
The Committee will note that the severance provisions being recommended in this report differ from those proposed by
the former City of Toronto Council.

--------
(Report dated October 15, 1998, addressed to the
Personnel Sub-Committee, from the Executive Director of Human Resources.)
Purpose:
This report recommends the terms and conditions of employment for Council staff members.
Financial Implications:
The funding for these positions is accommodated in each Councillor's 1998 salary budgets.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)Council consider the recommendations of the Executive Director of Human Resources, as outlined in the report dated
July 20, 1998, to the Corporate Services, with the amendments proposed by the Corporate Services Committee;
(2)Council consider if it wishes to allow all Council staff the option to opt out of the benefits package in lieu of receiving
the financial equivalent payment, until such time as the review of the full benefit plan is considered;
(3)permanent Council staff members employed by a former municipality which had a severance practice greater than two
weeks per year of service be grandpersoned at the level of severance payment through the former practice for their service
prior to January 1, 1998. Thereafter, their severance provision will be two weeks pay for each year of continuous
employment from January1, 1998; and
(4)the financial cost of any provisions which may be implemented in the future for overtime pay for Council
Administrative Assistants and Clerical Assistants, or any Council staff members, be paid through the Councillors' office
budgets.
Background:
The attached report, as amended by the Corporate Services Committee, was in front of City Council on July 29, 30, 31,
1998. A copy of the Corporate Services Committee recommendations to Council is also attached.
The report, and the amendments proposed by the Corporate Services Committee, was referred to the Personnel
Sub-Committee of the Corporate Services Committee with the following motions:
Moved by Councillor Disero:
"That the Clause be amended to provide that Council staff be allowed to opt out of the benefits package in lieu of
receiving the financial equivalent payment, until such time as the review of the full benefit plan is considered."
Moved by Councillor Moscoe:
"That Council staff members who were employed by a former municipality which had a severance practice greater than
two weeks per year of service be grandfathered at the level of severance payment through the former practice for their
service prior to January 1, 1998."
Moved by Councillor King:
"That the foregoing Clause be amended by amending Recommendations Nos. (7) and (8) embodied in the joint report
(July 20, 1998) from the Commissioner of Corporate Services and the Executive Director of Human Resources, by adding
thereto the following words 'and that the payments be made from Councillors' office budgets.' ")
Opting Out of the Benefits Package:
Committee will be aware that staff were originally not in favour of the option to opt out of the benefits package. Benefits
are intended to cover the health needs of our employees, helping to ensure a healthy workforce. They are not intended as
additional cash in lieu compensation. Staff are developing a revised benefit program which is more flexible than our
current programs, and which, if approved by Council, will allow employees greater options and accountability for their
benefit choices. Staff believe this is a better approach than cash in lieu of benefits.
Corporate Services Committee asked me to consider grandparenting those individuals who previously received cash in
lieu of benefits in their former municipality. This reconsideration was included in the July 20, 1998 report to the Corporate
Services Committee. It has effectively led to a renewed perception that employees in the same class of jobs are being
treated differently, even though we have the opportunity now to harmonize terms and conditions of employment.
I am still concerned about the option of providing cash in lieu of benefits. However, out of fairness and equity, if Council
is going to provide this benefit to one group of employees within the same class, it should consider offering this option to
all employees in the group. Whatever position Council takes on opening up this option, it is imperative that this be done
only until the new benefit plan is introduced.
Severance Payments:
Staff support Councillor Moscoe's motion with the clarification that only permanent (not contract) Council staff members
employed by a former municipality which had a severance practice greater than two weeks per year of service be
grandpersoned at the level of severance payment through the former practice for their service prior to January 1, 1998.
Thereafter, their severance provision will be two weeks' pay for each year of continuous employment from January 1,
1998.
Payments from Councillors' Budgets:
The Sub-Committee will note that the Corporate Services Committee recommended that the issue of overtime be deferred
until such time as a corporate-wide policy for overtime is considered. An overtime policy will be considered during
discussion on the new Compensation Plan, due to take place in early 1999.
Staff can support Councillor King's motion respecting payment for such overtime.
