Preparing for 2025 bargaining
The Community Social Services Bargaining Association collective agreement expires on March 31, 2025. About 1,500 HEU members work in the community social services sector.
In preparation for contract negotiations, HEU held a two-day Community Social Services Bargaining Conference (November 6 and 7, 2024) at the HEU Provincial Office, 5000 North Fraser Way in Burnaby.
During the conference, delegates adopted bargaining demands, identified their top priorities, and elected a new bargaining committee.

Benchmarks
The Joint Job Evaluation Plan Benchmarks are the sole criteria for the classification of jobs in the Community Social Services sector.
A benchmark is not a job description. It is a number of duties, described in broad terms, that represents a level of work and responsibility. A job description is a detailed list of duties required by an employer at a particular agency.
These documents will provide your benchmark rate code and/or grid code. To find your wage rates, look in your Wage Grid, in the Key Documents section above.
