4 SERVICE DELIVERY HIGHLIGHTS: As a Centre of Expertise, the Human Resources Department provides innovative support and services to the employees of the new city. While centrally directed, the emphasis is on a decentralized, day-to-day service for internal customers. As new technology is implemented, information will be quicker and easier to access by all employees; a strategic move towards employee self-service. There is an emphasis on employee health and wellness issues, such as improved workplace safety, legislated health services and confidential counseling to employees and their families. Managers have a single point of access to service through their service bureau, a dedicated service to each department. Human Resources assists managers with people management practices by providing advice, coaching and training. HR Service Bureau staff act as generalists, complementing the specialist resources in the other three branches. During transition years, the services of HR will be heavily relied upon by the City to help stabilize the organization through staffing, workforce adjustment, collective agreement negotiation, policy direction and management training. These issues must be our immediate priority. Progress towards a new corporate culture is heavily dependent upon the City s people practices and HR programs. While technology and a new role for program managers in HR decision making form the cornerstones of the HR department s service delivery model, these changes will happen gradually during the transition years. 404

22 Corporate Benefit Provisions 425

23 CORPORATE BENEFIT PROVISIONS Benefits/Retirees The extended health care plans for retirees provide health care benefits to employees who have retired from the new City and its former partner municipalities Pension Supplementation The pension supplementation plan provides eligible retired former City and former Region employees or their widows/widowers with a payment, based on a formula, to supplement their retirement income to a maximum of the poverty line. C.O.S.F. Administration This amount is paid to administer the pension payroll for members of the City of Ottawa Superannuation Pension Fund (COSF) as well as benefit administration for all retired employees. Past Service Pension This provision is for the employer portion of pension buybacks initiated by employees for past service where pension contributions were not deducted e.g. parental leave and part-time. The funding to complete the former Region omission periods for other than continuous full-time employees with service between 1989 and 1992 is also included. Parental Leave The Employment Standards Act of Ontario and the Federal Employment Insurance Act provide minimum standards for taking time off work and the right to collect an EI benefits during that absence to employees who become parents as the result of giving birth to or adopting a child. Through negotiations with the various bargaining units, the City provides a topping-up to the employment insurance benefits under a Supplemental Employment Benefit (SEB) plan. The parental leave budget shown here provides funds for this topping up feature where the top up cannot be managed within the department s operating budget. Benefit Rate Adjustments The current benefit plans, negotiated as part of the collective agreements, provide extended health care (prescription drug, vision and hospital coverage), dental care, long term disability and life insurance. Annual renewal of benefits contracts with insurance carriers results in funding requirement for plan deficit repayment and for premium adjustments based on experience. 426

24 CORPORATE BENEFIT PROVISIONS Termination and Sick Leave Upon leaving the employ of the City, some employees are entitled to compensation for accumulated sick leave credits, accumulated vacation leave and severance pay. The banked sick leave provision is primarily for staff hired before the introduction of income protection plans in the late 1970 s. Details of how these provisions are paid out are outlined in the specific collective agreements. Disability Accommodation Provision This provision has been established to allow employees to be accommodated in the work force on a modified basis. This provision allows workers on WSIB or LTD the opportunity of rejoining the work force productively to progress to full-time duties. This provision reduces reliance on disability plans and costs and increases employee productivity and operational efficiency. 427
