Do acquired rights/grand-parenting protection apply to any employees formerly classified as ES?
Yes. Individuals who are employees of an organization that staffs under the authority of the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and for which the Treasury Board is the employer have acquired rights. They are deemed to meet the minimum educational requirement for a university graduation if they were an indeterminate incumbent of a position classified as ES on June 30, 1967. At this point in time, few employees would fall into this category and have acquired rights in terms of the new EC education standard. The term incumbent applies to someone who occupies a position on a permanent or tenured basis. Permanency and tenure result when an individual is appointed or deployed to a position on an indeterminate basis.
