AMAPCEO members in the OPS begin to see salary adjustments

AMAPCEO members in the Ontario Public Service (OPS) will see salary adjustments resulting from the 2025–2028 AMAPCEO– OPS Collective Agreement reflected in their pay as of November 6 or November 20, the OPS Employer announced earlier today. 

Members are still awaiting retroactive payment for the period between April 1, 2025 (the effective date of the current collective agreement) and the current pay period. The Employer has announced a target date of December 4 for retro payments. 

AMAPCEO has consistently pushed for swift implementation of salary adjustments and retro pay. While the union welcomes the news that members will begin to see their increases over the coming weeks, the Collective Agreement was ratified in August, making implementation of these salary adjustments still well overdue.

AMAPCEO also emphasizes that members who have since retired or left the OPS have not only not received their retro payments, they have also not yet received their Bill 124 remedy—an indefensible three-year wait. 

AMAPCEO urges the OPS Employer to implement these outstanding payments as swiftly as possible and ensure that public servants and former public servants receive what they are owed. 

The OPS Employer has frequently cited capacity issues as a reason for the slow implementation. For years, AMAPCEO has sounded the alarm on capacity constraints in the Pay and Benefits Services Division—an issue that could have been avoided had the government heeded our advice to invest in public services and end the OPS hiring freeze.
