Rescinded [2017-10-18] - Guideline On Common Financial Management Business Process 5.1 - Pay Administration

This document, the 'Guideline on Common Financial Management Business Process for Pay Administration' or 'FM-BP/PA', defines the HR/Finance Pay Administration Model (referred hereafter as the Pay Administration Model or PAM), which documents common HR and finance pay-related processes, data, roles and responsibilities, and authoritative sources. The HR/Finance Pay Administration Model is a 'should be' model that reflects best practices and definitions under the current Government of Canada (GC) systems and policy frameworks, specifically identifying how financial policy and the Financial Administration Act (FAA) and other legislation apply to the pay administration process.
