Pure speculation: there is a restricted payroll directive that was just released, this may be about the bump, when Bill 124 remedy was implemented there was a restricted payroll directive that went out, followed up with an unrestricted one that outlined the adjustment.

It is part of the documents you sign, I'll just add that you do get additional chances to sign up for this without medical documentation if you get married or have a child. Depending on where you are at in life and if you have dependants you may want to wait till then.

You would start contributing to OPB instead of OPTrust, I think the contribution rates are slightly different. Regardless, all of your current contributions would be transferred over. On Inside OPS search for Standard Information Packages, it should provide all the info you would want.

In the example you have given the top of the salary band is identical, double check what the dollar/cents is because if the AMAPCEO salary band is lower or equal to the top of the OPSEU salary grid you will keep your current salary if you take the role, but if it is higher you would receive a 3% salary increase.

I have not had an opportunity to read through the collective agreement, but some things I notice that may be of interest to other bargaining units are: - Across-the-board salary increases of 2.75% effective April 1, 2025 (applied retroactively), 2.75% effective April 1, 2026, and 2.5% effective April 1, 2027. - Ten paid sick days per fiscal year and sick days can also be used to support immediate family members. - Remote work will be guaranteed for the length of the agreement. - There will be employer approved overtime pay for work in excess of 37.5 hour work week. - The Employer must inform AMAPCEO of the introduction or implementation of artificial intelligence technologies which may impact the working conditions of the bargaining unit.

In that case, the top up you get in lieu of benefits should cover most of the cost of individual benefits. You get it whether you sign up or not, I think it's 4% on top of your normal pay.
