University recruitment: Employee benefits

As a recruit, you'll receive a competitive starting salary, extensive health and dental coverage, generous parental leave, and pension benefits. Recruits also start with three weeks of paid vacation per year. In addition to these benefits, The Department of Finance Canada allows the opportunity for flexible work arrangements, such as compressed work weeks or working from home.

The Department offers performance-based job progression, which allows new recruits to progress in their career without going through a formal competition. Once at the department, you would become a member of the Public Service of Canada, with access to a broad range of government-wide possibilities across the country.
