Regulation respecting certain conditions of employment of certain executive officers and other management officers of Santé Québec

Act respecting the governance of the health and social services system

(chapter G-1.021, s. 59).

CHAPTER I TRANSFERRED MANAGEMENT OFFICERS

M.O. 2024-013, c. I.

1. The standards and scales to be used by Santé Québec for remuneration and other conditions of employment, except selection, appointment and hiring, and that apply to transferred management officers are those set out in the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to officers of agencies and health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.1), with the adaptations provided for in this Regulation and the other necessary adaptations.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 1.

2. For the purposes of this Regulation, a transferred management officer is a person who

(1)  before being transferred pursuant to section 1474 of the Act respecting the governance of the health and social services system (chapter G-1.021), was part of the management personnel; or

(2)  before being transferred pursuant to that section, was not governed by a collective agreement, was not part of the management personnel and

(a)  performed a coordination role representing the employer;

(b)  supervised personnel members;

(c)  was responsible for issues of national scope;

(d)  made decisions having an impact on health and social services institutions;

(e)  had unique and critical expertise in the updating of processes.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 2.

3. A transferred management officer is, for the purposes of the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to officers of agencies and health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.1), a senior officer if, before being transferred, the transferred management officer held one of the positions listed in Schedule I.

In other cases, the transferred management officer is an intermediate officer.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 3.

4. The probation period provided for in section 8 of the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to officers of agencies and health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.1) applies only to a transferred management officer who, at the time of the transfer, had not been part of the management personnel for at least 12 months.

In such a case, the duration of the probation period is the difference between 12 months and the duration of the period prior to transfer when the transferred management officer was part of the management personnel.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 4.

5. A transferred management officer referred to in the first paragraph of section 3 is, at the time of the transfer to Santé Québec, placed in a salary class in accordance with the provisions of section 15.1 of the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to officers of agencies and health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.1). Other transferred management officers are, at the same time, placed in a salary class in accordance with the provisions of section 15 of that Regulation.

If, following a transfer, the remuneration the transferred management officer would have received, had the officer not been transferred, is retroactively increased starting on a date prior to the date of transfer, the placement in a salary class provided for in the first paragraph must be revised to replace the salary received by the transferred management officer prior to transfer by the retroactively increased salary.

The transferred management officer is entitled to receive, from the time of the revision, any amount missing from the salary paid between the time of the transfer and the time of the revision, to ensure that the salary paid reflects the revision.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 5.

6. The second paragraph of section 6.0.1 of the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to officers of agencies and health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.1) does not apply to days of vacation accumulated by a transferred management officer prior to the transfer to Santé Québec.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 6.

7. For the purposes of section 6.0.2 of the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to officers of agencies and health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.1) the number of years of continuous service acquired by a transferred management officer at the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux prior to transfer is counted.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 7.

CHAPTER II EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND OTHER MANAGEMENT OFFICERS APPOINTED BY SANTÉ QUÉBEC

M.O. 2024-013, c. II.

8. The standards and scales to be used by Santé Québec for the remuneration and other conditions of employment of a personnel member given hierarchical, functional or advisory responsibilities in connection with planning, organization, management coordination or monitoring functions, and who holds a position which, if the personnel member was at a health and social services institution, would be a position within the meaning of a regulation referred to in one of the following subparagraphs, are the standards and scale provided for in that Regulation, with the adaptations provided for in this Regulation and the other necessary adaptations:

(1)  the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to officers of agencies and health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.1);

(2)  the Regulation respecting certain terms of employment applicable to senior administrators of agencies and of public health and social services institutions (chapter S-4.2, r. 5.2).

Santé Québec may only give a personnel member responsibilities referred to in the first paragraph if the personnel member was appointed to a position that corresponds to a position with a similar set of tasks at a health and social services institution.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 8.

9. Section 8 does not apply to

(1)  the president and chief executive officer;

(2)  a president and executive director;

(3)  a vice-president;

(4)  an assistant president and executive director;

(5)  an assistant vice-president.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 9.

10. The maximum amount that Santé Québec may pay as an annual salary to a person referred to in paragraph 3 or 5 of section 9 may not be equal to or in excess of the salary paid to the president and chief executive officer. Similarly, Santé Québec may not grant such a person conditions of employment that are more advantageous than those of the president and chief executive officer.

M.O. 2024-013, s. 10.

CHAPTER III PROVISIONS APPLYING TO BOTH TRANSFERRED MANAGEMENT OFFICERS AND CERTAIN APPOINTED MANAGEMENT OFFICERS, AND ADAPTATION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS
