The Profile-Based Classification System: Supervisory Profiles
The supervisory/leadership classifications of the profile-based classification system are four profiles, which are based upon the highest classification level of the staff supervised:
- S1 (Supervisory/Leadership 1) – supervisor of non-health science professionals
- S2 (Supervisory/Leadership 2) – supervisor of P1 and/or P2A and/or S1 staff; may also supervise non-health science professional staff
- S3 (Supervisory/Leadership 3) – supervisor of S2 and/or P2B staff; may also supervise non-health science professional and/or P1 and/or P2A staff
- S4 (Supervisory/Leadership 4) – supervisor of S3 staff; may also supervise any other staff
The four profiles each have four pay levels, which are based upon the number of full-time equivalent staff (FTEs) supervised, which is the larger of:
- The approved staff compliment; or
- The total number of staff hours in a 3-month period, divided by 489.375 (i.e. 3 times 163.125 hours) to give the average number of FTEs
In most cases you will be able to use the first option, and simply add up the FTEs of the staff you supervise. If there are unfilled vacancies in your work area, those FTEs are counted as part of the staff compliment.
However, if your workplace has many casuals and/or supernumerary employees, you may need to use the second option.
The number of FTEs should be counted quarterly, on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. Resulting changes in salary structures are effective the following day (i.e. April 1, July 1, etc.).
The pay levels are:
- Up to 8 FTE
- More than 8 FTE and up to 16 FTE
- More than 16 FTE and up to 24 FTE
- More than 24 FTE
