Why are employees who are currently classified under the ES and SI standards being converted to a new EC standard? Why is the EC group being targeted rather than other groups?
A. Employees whose positions are classified using the ES and SI classification standard belong to the EC occupational group. Under the government’s classification modernization program, new classification standards are to be developed on a group by group basis for each of the 30 occupational groups. The EC occupational group, along with the FS, FB, CS and PA groups, was identified as an early candidate for modernization. FS and FB positions have been converted using new standards and EC will be the next conversion.
