As committee chair I reviewed all the concerns submitted to the UTE National Staffing Committee as a result of Bulletin 12/03 and compiled the following list:

1. Portfolio of Competencies (POC) – Length of time to complete.
2. POC being worked on then not assessed as candidate fail written exam. Thus using their lifetime 7 hrs.
3. The assessment of Conflict Management Competency.
4. Lack of Recourse/Corrective Action.
5. Lack of consistency in the use of Competencies. One competition, submit 3, have marked, if passed submit remaining 5. Other process must submit all 8.
6. Inconsistency in the evaluation of SEED competencies.
7. Bastardization of LDP’s.
8. Qualified employee in the pool being removed thus having no access to ITPR.
9. Time delay in receiving Decision Review (5 months).
10. Placement criteria not clear on Poster, Decided what criteria to use after completion of the process.
11. Sole use of supervisory reference checks.
12. Long term acting’s 3-4 years.
13. Candidates meet experience criteria but screened out, no corrective action at IF.

These items will be addressed with the employer as soon as a meeting can be scheduled.

Respectfully submitted,

Kent MacDonald,
