Salary Information and the Salary Grid
Hello AJCLA Members,
With the recent communication regarding our raises and pay parity with the Crown prosecutors, and the updating of salaries in 1GX, the AJCLA is looking for individual Members to provide information, to our general email account at albertajcla@gmail.com, regarding salaries (and any issues you might consider to be present with your new salary). Despite the welcome news of these salary increases, there still appears to be a lack of clarity and confusion surrounding the applicable salaries for different steps within the Legal Officer classifications, other than on an individual basis. It is expected, however, that we have much, if not all, of this information within our own Membership.
Any personal information related to the below will be kept confidential and not further disseminated. The purpose of this request for information is to create our own salary chart to determine the rates that different members are being paid at, based on their step within a particular classification, and to identify any areas that merit further attention by the Association or that can be clarified for Members.
In that vein, we are looking for information from Members who are comfortable providing it, on a voluntary basis, as to:
Your current classification and when you were reclassified to that classification (e.g. currently an LO3, was reclassified to LO3 effective April, 2020).
Your year of call to the bar.
Your most recent previous annual and bi-weekly salary prior to the increase (which can be accessed on 1GX in the Profile, Remuneration tab, by clicking on the "clock/rewind" icon.
Your new, updated annual and bi-weekly salary showing as of October 1, 2023.
Upon receiving sufficient information, we will share information (not any personal information) with the Membership as to applicable salaries, and this will inform our discussions with Leadership as to the new pay scale and any issues to be addressed, generally or individually.
Should you have any concerns with the above request, please feel free to address these with the AJCLA Executive directly so that we can discuss the same.
