Receiving a letter saying that your position may be affected by workforce adjustment or employment transition can be a confusing and stressful experience. To help make things clearer and highlight the options available to you, we’ve created new flowcharts for federal public service workers employed by Treasury Board, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Parks Canada, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).  

Each flowchart reflects the provisions in your collective agreement under the Workforce Adjustment Appendix, or the Employment Transition Policy (for members at CFIA). 

The flowcharts help you understand what to expect at each stage of the process, including key timelines, decision points, and available support, giving you a clear overview of your rights and next steps.

Whether you’re personally affected, looking to offer your position through the alternation process, or supporting a colleague, these flowcharts are another way to stay informed and confident about your next steps.
