SECTION 3: CLASSIFICATION

INSTRUMENT OF DELEGATION OF CLASSIFICATION AUTHORITIES FOR THE OMBUDSMAN AND THE OFFICE OF THE DND-CF OMBUDSMAN

The Director General, Workplace Management (DGWM) has been sub-delegated to issue classification grievance decisions for civilian employees of the Department of National Defence, including employees of the office of the DND-CF Ombudsman, in accordance with the Treasury Board Directive on Classification Grievances.

Because of the mandate and structure of the office of the DND-CF Ombudsman, generic job descriptions and classification levels used by the Department of National Defence may not always be appropriate for the office of the DND-CF Ombudsman. Where an employee of the office of the DND-CF Ombudsman submits a classification grievance, DGWM shall consult with and seek input from the Ombudsman prior to making a classification grievance decision.

Input from the Ombudsman may include information regarding the impact of a potential classification grievance decision on:  

• positions within the office of the DND-CF Ombudsman; and
• program management within the office of the DND-CF Ombudsman. 

This instrument takes effect on day/month/ 2017.
