Human Resources Summary

Sources: Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff Group, Chief Military Personnel Group, Assistant Deputy Minister (Human Resources – Civilian) Group

Note:

1. The difference indicates variance between planned and actual figures; this is not an indication of growth or reduction. To determine growth or reduction, a comparison between actual FTEs is required. For example, a comparison of the actual FTEs between the 2011-12 Departmental Performance Report (DPR) and the 2012-13 DPR indicate a reduction of 688 military FTEs and a reduction of 1,497 civilian FTEs.
2. The Primary Reserve (Class C) planned figure published in the 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities was incorrectly identified as 600. The Primary Reserve (Class C planned figure should have read 680. However, this figure was correctly identified in the 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities under Program 3.4 International, Peace, Stability and Security. The planned Primary Reserve (Class C) and the Total figures in this table have been adjusted accordingly.

1. The difference indicates variance between planned and actual figures; this is not an indication of growth or reduction. To determine growth or reduction, a comparison between actual FTEs is required. For example, a comparison of the actual FTEs between the 2011-12 Departmental Performance Report (DPR) and the 2012-13 DPR indicate:
   • A reduction of 1,798 Primary Reserve (all classes) Total Strength;
   • A reduction of 1,931 Primary Reserve (all classes) Average Paid strength;
   • A reduction of 26 Cadet Organization Administration and Training Services; and
   • An increase of 223 Canadian Rangers.

¹Notes on Human Resources Summary (Full-Time Equivalent) reported in Section IV:

• Military personnel size is measured by total strength and includes Vote 5 funded personnel and approximately 1,100 members on leave without pay (80% related to parental leave).
• Primary Reserve Class C figures are reported separately to maintain the visibility of reservists employed full-time in support of deployed/contingency operations.
• For reporting purposes, Primary Reserve Class C are considered equivalent to the Regular Force personnel as they are entitled to equivalent pay, benefits and liability as a Regular Force member.
• Primary Reserve Class C is calculated as person year. For example, two Primary Reservists on Class C service for six months would count as one military FTE.
• Civilian workforce is planned through a salary wage envelope (SWE). For reporting purposes, the civilian workforce is measured by FTEs. The FTE total includes all personnel tenure (indeterminate, term, casual and student employees) actively employed and calculated as person year. For example, two part-time employees sharing one position would count as one FTE.
• Civilian workforce planned FTEs are subject to final budgetary approval.
• Civilian FTEs include approximately 950 Vote 5 funded personnel. Civilian FTEs do not include personnel on leave without pay.
• FTE figures in this DPR are not consistent 1:1 with the FTE figures used for the allocation of the financial resources approved for the 2012-13 Annual Reference Level Update (ARLU).
• Planned FTE figures are based on planned establishment numbers.

²Notes on Human Resources Summary (Reserve Force Personnel) reported in Section IV:

• The Primary Reserve are those personnel working in various capacities with the CAF where Class A reservists perform part-time work and training, Class B reservists are employed full-time or perform full-time training for more than 14 consecutive days, and Class C reservists are employed full-time but with the equivalent pay, benefits and liability as a Regular Force member.
• The majority of Reservists serve on part-time (Class A) service. There is a significant reduction in Class A numbers during the summer as many personnel are away from their home units conducting training on short-term Class B status. In addition, some Primary Reserve members are inactive. For these reasons, total strength is not an accurate representation of those on duty. The portion of Primary Reserve that is on duty and receives payment is counted and reported as the Primary Reserve average paid strength (an annual monthly average).
• Primary Reserve average paid strength reporting, planning and allocations are based on monthly reports provided by Assistant Deputy Minister (Finance and Corporate Services)/Director Strategic Finance Costing and Assistant Deputy Minister (Information Management)/Director Human Resource Information Management (DHRIM).
• Primary Reserve Total strength figure is a forecasted year-end snapshot. This includes all Primary Reservists whether effective or non-effective.
• Further information on Primary Reserve Planned Expenditures can be found in Section IV: Other Items of Interest – Reserve Force.
