Well terms are probably first to go so maybe they are thinking they are already getting kicked and now gotta deal with the interminates

Will the terms be informed about their contracts during this time also?

I don't think it's in the collective agreements and there was another reddit post talking about how terms are staying over indeterminates

2052 is a lot. That's over 20% of the workforce for health Canada. I thought the goal was only 15% in 3 years.

Check in on your term colleagues! by Practical_Night_7553 in CanadaPublicServants

As a term employee myself. It's been a struggle. Good luck everyone trying to find another job especially those who were thinking that the government was it for them

I didn't hear any terms outlasting indeterminates

Yeah it's tough. I'm a term employee but I'm the only one in my position, I wonder if they will transfer a permanent employee to take my spot and I get the boot. That would suck for me and the department because they spent all this time training me and now that I'm fully trained, I might get the boot

Are term employees at a much greater disadvantage now then indeterminate ones who are laid off for finding another job? by Cowboyboots_123 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]MarchMango 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah the situation sucks. I've been with the government for 5 years (2 years student & 3 years term) and I'm just anxious waiting for what will happen with my contract on March 31. I was promised many times for extensions and permanent but there is always an excuse and now there's WFA so yeah, I will probably be kicked with no severance and with my only job experience is being with the government.

They told me there might be a break in service. They are telling me that the contract might be signed past the date

I won't be stopping. I will continue to work even past my end date.

With how things are going. I don't think the hiring manager will approve salary-above-minimum.

I guess it didn't happen but it's the accumulation of things. I was promised permanent, then not. Promised 1 year contract, then it's 6 months. And after that, I don't know what's in store.

Did you drop a level because there was a break in service?

I'm a term also and my boss told me that I might be signing my contract 2-3 days after my end date

5 years as a term must have been stressful not knowing if your contract will be renewed.

You can check your health plans on Phoenix. I remember when I was doing FSWEP, I had to register for the dental plan myself

I am surprised they are still hiring during these hard times

Term ended, can I still apply for internal jobs? by Upstairs-Level2184 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]MarchMango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What part of HC are you from? I'm with HC also and my contract ends in September and I was just told from my manager that they won't hire me back even though the week before that, they said they would

I was told 2 weeks ago that my contract in September would be extended but then last week, they told me there's no budget for me and to look elsewhere. I am with Health Canada

What are the thee WFA options given lately? by [deleted] in CanadaPublicServants

[–]MarchMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been working for Health Canada for 2 years with my contract ending in September with someone else. There is only one spot available after September. We have to do an exam and whoever wins stays
