The Job Evaluation Initiatives Branch (JEIB) is seeking individuals for our Organizational Design and Classification Services Unit and our Classification System and Pay Equity Unit.
The Organizational Design and Classification Services Unit offers classification services for all positions up to and including the assistant deputy minister level and works with HR business partners to ensure consistent interpretation and application of the OPS classification system.
The Classification System and Pay Equity Unit establishes and conducts regular reviews of pay equity, job evaluation tools and standardized job descriptions for all OPS jobs.
As a centre of expertise, JEIB, facilitates a one-employer approach for the Ontario Public Service's (OPS) enterprise-wide organizational design and job classification framework to reflect the evolution of organizational models and work and to support the OPS' ability to be nimble and respond to changing priorities.
As responsible stewards of public funds, program executives and managers are expected to apply the same care, attention and knowledge to making organizational decisions as they would to financial transactions. As such, the Employer has sub-delegated the authority to make classification decisions solely to employees in JEIB who have been so trained and certified/accredited.
