HSPBA Profile-Based Classification System: Wage Rates

These are the wage schedules for Health Science Professionals, covered by the HSPBA collective agreement, that will come into effect when the new profile-based classification system is implemented on December 6, 2024.
 
If your job is matched to the P1 Working Professional profile, like the majority of HSA members, you won’t see much of a change as you’ve been paid at the new P1 rate since April 1, 2024.
 
If your job is matched to a different profile (P2A, P2B, or S1 – S4), the salary structure of your job will likely change. The new rates are retroactive to April 1, 2024. If your job’s new rate is higher than your current rate, you will see that increase reflected on your December 6, 2024 pay statement. The employer has agreed to provide retro pay by February 28, 2025.

Here's a visual that shows how the salary structures of the working professional profiles work:

And here's how the supervisory salary structures are calculated:

Some jobs in the P2A, P2B and S1 – S4 profiles will have a new wage rate that is lower than members’ current wage rates. These members will be “green circled” which means that they will continue being paid at their current rate, and receive all future general wage increases, for as long as they remain in the same position, i.e. they do not move to the new lower pay rate of their job. Affected members will receive written notification of green circling from the employer prior to implementation.
