Financial Management (FI) group - Job Evaluation Standard

A. Financial Subject Matter Expertise

This sub-factor measures the specialized financial management expertise and is comprised of two elements:

1. Breadth; and
2. Depth.

Breadth - Diversity of Expertise measures the degree of direct involvement within or across one or more financial management activities.

Depth - Intensity of Expertise measures the degree of specialization required in an activity or activities.

B. Managerial and Interpersonal Expertise

This sub-factor is comprised of two elements:

1. Managerial Expertise; and
2. Interpersonal Expertise

Managerial Expertise measures the expertise required to harmonize and integrate to achieve goals through the efforts of others. It includes application of such managerial concepts as those required for organizing, policy making, long-range planning, and financial operational management (e.g. financial project management).

Interpersonal Expertise measures the expertise required to influence others.

Notes to Raters

The following are some characteristics which may need to be considered in determining whether or not “influences of the setting” place additional demands on the position:

1. The nature and dispersion of the line organization, both in terms of geography and financial delegation, for which financial services are provided and the extent to which this increases or decreases the intricacy of financial work; and
2. The type of organizational structure within which the financial duties are performed. The range might be from a centralized hierarchical line organization to a decentralized matrix functional organization.

Notes to Raters

1. The relative size of the portion of total annual expenditures and/or revenues is determined by application of a “Susceptibility to Influence Weighted Factor”. (see Resources Susceptible to Influence - Worksheet).
2. The grid was developed on the basis of 2004 dollars. Recognizing that over time the value of the dollar may change from time to time, the size of resources may need to be adjusted accordingly on direction of Treasury Board Secretariat.
3. When determining the level of influence of a position, normally only the departmental line organizational relationship is to be taken into consideration. The level of influence is greater when the position provides financial recommendations directly to the ultimate decision-maker for the organization/organizational element being supported. The level of influence of the position decreases in direct relation to the distance from the ultimate decision-maker based on organizational levels (e.g., in departmental corporate headquarters, the CFO; in a Program or Branch, an ADM or equivalent; in a Region, a Regional Director General; in a District, a Director; in an institute (e.g., museum, penitentiary), a Director, warden or whoever is the effective line authority to make ultimate decisions for that organization).

4. Generalist positions that provide substantive, authoritative financial advice and/or services directly to management, but only report to a manager functionally, should be allocated to D column, provided that all the following criteria are met:

   1. The advisory responsibilities or financial services provided must not only be clearly assigned and accepted in the position description, but also acknowledged in the performance evaluation report, both of which must be co-signed by the manager receiving the advice or the financial services, and by the line manager;
   2. Direct advice and/or services must be provided on a continuing basis to the Head of a Branch/Program, region or major facility; it should not normally be applied to lower level or other type organizations; and
   3. The breadth of expertise (financial subject matter expertise) has already been rated at degree C or D (two financial activities or more).

   Subordinates of generalist positions should be assessed according to guidelines set out in the above “Notes to Raters” at Note 3.

Guiding notes for the preparation of Resources Susceptible to Influence Worksheet:

1. When completing the Resources Susceptible to Influence Worksheet, it is important for departmental managers to appropriately identify the organizational context within which the position being classified will reside (i.e., Departmental Headquarters, Program/Branch Headquarters, Region, Government Services, Central Agencies, and/or other institutions) as this will have an impact on the determination of the level of influence of a position (i.e., how far it resides from the ultimate decision-maker).

   The ultimate decision-maker for the purposes of this exercise varies depending on the organizational context. For positions residing within departmental corporate headquarters, the ultimate decision maker is deemed to be the CFO; in a program/branch, it is the ADM or equivalent; in a region, the DG; in all others, it is a director or whoever is the effective line authority to make ultimate decisions for that organization.

   The Resources Susceptible to Influence Worksheet is comprised of two sections: The first relates to position information and the second to the types and amount of resources over which the position has influence.

   When completing the information relating to the position, it is important to identify whether or not the position being classified is part of a pool of positions that exist within the organization. Pooled positions are normally at the same organizational level and all share equal responsibility for influencing a given size of resources (see note 3 for guidance on determining the size of resources influenced by positions within commonly found organizational structures).

   For positions that are part of a pool of positions, it is important to note that the total weighted amount of resources must be divided by the number of positions found within the pool so as to identify the corresponding level of influence for each individual position.

   The Main Estimates for the current year are to be used to complete the Resources Susceptible to Influence Worksheet.

   When completing the information relating to the types and amount of resources, it is important to identify which resource base will be used for the purposes of the calculation: direct resources (i.e., own budget) or indirect resources (i.e., departmental budget). Please note that it is the larger of the Direct or Indirect resources base that is used for the purpose of calculation, but not both.

   The relative size of the portion of total annual expenditures and/or revenues over which the position has influence is determined by the application of a weighted factor. This factor has been pre determined and is identified in the worksheet for each type of resource.

   For ease of reference, definitions relating to the types of resources (i.e., operating expenditures, revolving funds, capital expenditures, etc.) have been included in the glossary of terms found within the FI job evaluation standard.

2. Benchmark financial management organizational contexts defined:

   1. Departmental Corporate Headquarters: Centre of control for the department or agency usually headed by the Chief Financial Officer;
   2. Central Agency: An agency that exists to support the Cabinet’s corporate objectives and the collective responsibilities of the minister. The three “traditional” central agencies are the Privy Council Office, the Department of Finance and the Treasury Board Secretariat;
   3. Central Service: Organizations that provide central services to federal departments and agencies (e.g., Public Services and Procurement Canada and Shared Services);
   4. Departmental Branch Headquarters or Branch Headquarters: Centre of control for Program/Branch/Sector organizations within the department or agency which are headed by an executive at the EX 04 or EX 05 level or equivalent;
   5. Branch Regional Headquarters; Departmental Regional Headquarters; Regional Headquarters: Centre of control for a region which are headed by an executive at the EX 03 or equivalent (e.g., Regional Director General); and
   6. Institution: Organizations under federal jurisdiction, such as museums and penitentiaries.

3. The following principles illustrate how the size of the resources, influenced by a given position in different commonly found organizational structures, should be determined:

   1. If a “pool” of similar positions exists at the same organizational level, and all share equal responsibility for influencing a given size of resources, those resources must be correspondingly apportioned by dividing by the number of positions in the pool;
   2. If positions are at the same organizational level but have different responsibilities, the size of resources influenced should not be reduced; and
   3. If positions are at different organizational levels but have similar spans of responsibility (i.e. a “one-on-one” relationship exists), the size of resources influenced should not be reduced. However, the points assigned will be considerably reduced as a result of diminished levels of influence (the other dimension of the grid).

   See following scenarios for the determination of size of resources.

   Please note that the organization chart below is not intended to represent any specific organization. It shows three separate scenarios indicating how resources may be divided.

   

   Figure 1 - Text version

   Text Version of an organization chart showing three separate scenarios indicating how dollars may be divided within a division headed by a Director:

   Scenario 1

   This scenario shows the Chief, Financial Policy and Systems reporting to the Director, each responsible for $480 dollars. There are no positions reporting to this Chief position.

   Scenario 2

   This scenario shows the Chief, Financial Planning and Resource Management which heads up a unit, reporting to the Director.  The Chief and the Director each are responsible for resources of $480 dollars.   Two Senior positions reporting to the Chief, each with different subordinate structures, are each responsible for $240 dollars. 

   The first Senior Job has a pool of two Intermediate positions reporting to it, each responsible for $120  dollars. Each Intermediate position has a pool of two Junior positions reporting in, each with responsibility for $60 dollars.

   The second Senior job has two Intermediate positions reporting to it, each responsible for $120  dollars.  Each Intermediate job has one junior job reporting to it, each equally responsible for $120 dollars.  One of the Junior jobs has a pool of 2 Trainee positions reporting to it, each responsible for $60 dollars.

   Scenario 3

   This scenario shows the Chief, Accounting Operations, which heads of a small unit, reporting to the Director.  The Chief and Director are each responsible for resources of $480 dollars.  Four different positions report directly to the Chief position:

   • Capital Expenditures, responsible for $200 dollars
   • Operating Expenditures West Sector, responsible for $150 dollars
   • Operating Expenditures East Sector, responsible for $100 dollars
   • Transfer Payments, responsible for $30

Resources Susceptible to Influence Worksheet

The worksheet measures the relative size of the portion of total annual expenditures and/or revenues which are influenced by a position. It is divided into three sections: position information, direct budget resources, and eight Indirect budget resources. Working across the worksheet, each budget resource has an associated weighting factor to calculate the weighted amount for each resource. The total weighted amount for all applicable budget resources are totaled at the bottom right-hand side of the worksheet.
