Component Transfer (CT), Pay and Benefits
Case summary
F&R Date: 2020-01-22
The grievor challenged the rank and pay increment granted to him on Component Transfer (CT) from the Reserve Force (Res F) to the Regular Force. The grievor argued that the Canadian Armed Forces misled him and did not honour the offer he had accepted. The grievor argued that he completed the required qualification and that, as had been informed by his unit, he should therefore have retained the terms of service he had in the Res F regarding his rank, pay increment and Entry in the Promotion Zone (EPZ) date.
The Initial Authority (IA) did not grant the remedy sought. The IA stated that the rank and EPZ date were amended in the grievor's offer. The IA indicated that obtaining a qualification has no effect on pay or seniority established at the time of the CT. The IA explained that the pay increment is determined by previous service in the rank or at a higher rank, at the rate of one quarter time for Class “A” service and 1 for 1 for Class “B” and “C” Reserve service.
The Committee found the rank, pay and EPZ date in the offer the grievor accepted were in accordance with the policies applicable to CT. Regarding the inaccurate information provided by his unit, the Committee applied the requirements set out by the Court in Queen v. Cognos Inc. [1993] 1 S.C.R. 87 to the grievor's case. The Committee found that the grievor failed to prove that he was aggrieved by relying on inaccurate representations. Consequently, the Committee recommended that the remedy sought not be granted.
FA decision summary
The Final Authority (FA), the Director Canadian Forces Grievance Authority, endorsed the findings and recommendations of the Committee to not grant redress.
