6 PURPOSE OF STUDY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this study is to develop comprehensive 2013 Survey Report that identifies salary ranges for First Nation Chief and Councils, and 65 common positions employed by First Nation, Tribal Council and Aboriginal Health Family Service located in British Columbia. This study contains four (4) phases, unlike previous salary studies that involved three (3) phases. The first phase entails the design/development of a survey instruments to best capture information required for study. The second phase requires the administration of the survey instrument to over 200 First Nation, Tribal Council, and Aboriginal Health/Family Service organizations located within the boundaries of the Province of British Columbia. The third phase necessitates the research of collective bargaining agreements between the Federal/Provincial employers and their respective unions, and research of other reliable salary sources to determine current labour market rates for these employment positions. The fourth phase involves the sorting/cross sorting and analysis of collected survey data for presentation in a manner most useful to the readers of this Report. METHOD OF STUDY A. Phase One: Design and Develop the Survey Instrument To undertake phase one of the assignment, namely the design and development of survey instruments to best capture information required for the study, a review was conducted on all major department and program areas common to First Nation, Tribal Council and Aboriginal Health/Family Service. This review and analysis goes beyond core Indian and Northern Affairs Canada funded programs and includes ten (10) major areas of operation. 1. Governance and Leadership 2. Organization Support Management & Administration 3. Social Development Programs 4. Health Programs 5. Education Programs 6. Housing & Infrastructure Programs 7. Natural Resource Management Programs 8. Economic Development Programs 9. Treaty/Land Claims 10. Human Resource Development Programs BC First Nations Report

7 This year, sixty five (65) standard employment positions within ten major areas of operation were researched and reviewed, with many employment positions unique to First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Aboriginal Health/Family Service operations being included in the salary survey study. This year also had two separate surveys developed; one targeting First Nations and Tribal Councils, and one targeting Aboriginal Health/Family Service. Each salary survey instrument was constructed to gather information on: AFOA BC membership status of the respondent organizations Interest in AFOA BC membership by the respondent organization Organization name, address, telephone number, and contact person(s) Total on and off reserve membership of respondent organization *Adjusted for Tribal Councils and Aboriginal Health & Family Service Orgs. Total number of full-time employees on respondent organization payroll Length of AANDC funding agreement (1 or 5 years) with the organization *Adjusted for Aboriginal Health & Family Service Orgs. Total annual operating budget of the respondent organization Determination on whether the organization has established salary ranges range information on sixty five (65) specific employment positions *Adjusted for Tribal Councils & Aboriginal Health/Family Orgs. B. Phase Two: Administering the Survey Instrument To undertake this phase of the study, a contact lists of First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Aboriginal Health & Family Service organizations located in British Columbia was developed. This listing of target organizations contains the names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, and addresses for 200 First Nations, 27 Tribal Councils, and 32 Aboriginal Health/Family Service located within the geographic boundaries of British Columbia. survey packages (which included an AFOA of BC introductory letter) were delivered via to all 200 First Nations, 27 Tribal Councils, and 32 Aboriginal Health & Family Service organizations. The method used for survey administration allowed all respondents time to complete the survey and or fax it to the contractor. The salary survey instruments were also made available on the AFOA of BC website at for survey participants to fill out and send to the contractor on-line BC First Nations Report

8 To increase First Nation, Tribal Council, and Aboriginal Health & Family Service organization response to the 2013 salary survey, the initial submission deadline date of February 22, 2013 for First Nation, Tribal Council, and Aboriginal Service organizations was extended a couple of weeks to March 11, 2013 in order to obtain additional completed surveys for accurate data analysis. C. Phase Three: Research Collective Bargaining Agreements between Federal/Provincial Employers and Unions This project phase researches and identifies current salary ranges for a number of employment positions (professional and non-professional) in the Federal and Provincial Governments that are common to employment positions in First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Aboriginal Child & Family/Health Service. Many of the professional positions employed by Aboriginal Governments and Agencies listed in this report possess the same qualifications and professional standards required by the Federal and Provincial Governments. Some of these positions include; Community Health Nurses requiring registration (RN s); Certified Teachers requiring a license to teach in BC; Case Social Workers requiring a BSW degree; Professional Foresters requiring registration; etc. Thirty nine (39) employment positions contained in this report are also employed in the Provincial and Federal Governments. These positions have undergone; collective bargaining agreement salary rates researched; with a comparative analysis completed between First Nation and Federal/Provincial Government salary averages in this 2013 BC First Nation Survey Report. D. Phase Four: Sorting and Analysis of Survey Data This year (2013) forty two (42) completed salary surveys where received and entered into the Microsoft Excel Database. It is important that readers of this report understand; AFOA of BC salary survey projects are now being conducted annually. This means the project exercise guarantees that salary survey data used for report development will not be older than one (1) year. survey data collected during this current project exercise was added to the database with the previous year s salary data. We are pleased to announce the project has received a two year total of seventy two (72) completed surveys to enable straight and comparative data analysis on the following areas that are contained in the main body report BC First Nations Report

9 Section 1: General Demographics and Operations Information An introduction to all general information data fields and a straight analysis summary of results for each field is contained in this section of the report. a) A determination of per capita funding by comparative analysis of First Nation, Tribal Council, Aboriginal Health & Family Service organization membership numbers in relation to organization total annual operating budget. b) An analysis and determination on ratio of full-time employees in relation to First Nation, Tribal Council/Aboriginal Health & Family Service organization annual operating budget. c) A determination on the number of one and five year AANDC funding agreements in relation to the total survey set. *Adjusted for Aboriginal Health & Family Service BC First Nations Report

10 Section 2: s The layout of this section is introduced. The grouping/classification of salary scale data and methods used for their analysis are introduced. scale data is presented by employment position within each of the ten major areas of organization governance and operation. A sample of the report data layout follows. Position Title: Description: General Manager (Administrator, Executive Director) A position required by most First Nation, Tribal Council, and Aboriginal Health & Family Service organizations, this position reports directly to Chief and Council, a Council of Chiefs or Board of Directors. This position is usually responsible for planning and administering the organization s annual operating budget, implementing Governing Body resolutions, and decisions, and directing a team of professionals and support staff.

11 Key statements and observations follow the above data layout tables constructed for each of the sixty five (65) employment positions contained in this report. Wherever necessary, data may be in a combined format to ensure the pre-requisite minimum of three (3) salary quotes is used for any one-employment position. The NOC (National Occupation Classification) minimums to maximum salary ranges are no longer referenced in this report; rather salary averages for most employment positions was obtained from.com. Canadian Federal and Provincial Collective Bargaining Agreement salary rates are also included as notations to many of the listed sixty five (65) employment position salary tables as is applicable. The introduction of this information is designed to inform First Nation, Tribal Council, and Aboriginal Health/Child & Family Service organization decision makers on the salary rates Federal and Provincial funding agencies pay their own service professionals and employees. These Federal and Provincial salary listings assume a specific level of education, experience (seniority), and skill, are required of the position. The minimum to maximum salary ranges for First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Aboriginal Health & Family Service organization employment positions do not make this assumption. However, with professional employment positions requiring certification, registration, or licensing, specific levels of education, knowledge and skills can be assumed as being equal for pay equity purposes. LISTING OF POSITIONS UNDER STUDY Specific employment positions receiving the pre-requisite minimum of three (3) salary quotes, and therefore appearing in this 2013 Survey Report, number sixty five (65) in total. A listing of these employment positions and number of salary quotes received follows. 2.1 Governance and Leadership # of Elected Chiefs: 61 Elected Councilors/Directors: Band Support Management & Administration # of General Manager (Band Manager, C.E.O): 69 Executive Assistant: 44 Controller (Financial Manager): 40 Finance Officer (Bookkeeper): 51 Finance Clerk: 36 Accts Payable Clerk: BC First Nations Report

First Nation Fish Biologists had a large salary average reduction, while the Economic Development Officer saw an $8K salary reduction in the First Nation category. The production of an annual salary survey report has change to the way the salary survey database is managed. Prior, when the report was produced every two years, the salary survey database was deleted because the data was too old to be used. With the move to a yearly salary survey report, salary data from last year remains, and this year s salary data is added to the database. The AFOA of BC quality assurance guarantee is; salary data used to develop the BC First Nation Reports will not be older than one (1) year. Next year, as last year s salary data becomes two (2) years old; that salary data will be deleted from the data base and salary data received this year from forty two (42) First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Aboriginal Agencies will remain in the database. This change in methodology for salary survey database management should reduce any salary variation effects and impact, year over year, going forward BC First Nations Report

15 This years report uses.com salary data, which replaces last year s Working in Canada Report national salary data compiled and published by Human Resource Services and Development Canada (HRSDC). The.com data, which also includes education and experience requirements for each position, contains much more labour market competitive salary rates. Also included in this years report are notations containing Federal and Provincial Government salary rates for thirty nine (39) positions. This information reflects this salary report project s movement towards identifying funding agency salary rates, comparing those rates with First Nation salary rates, thus ensuring First Nations and Aboriginal become, and remain, labour market competitive employers. For the first time in the twelve (12) year history of this First Nation salary survey project, there were a couple of First Nation organizations that indicated their operating/work hours were six (6) hours per day, or indicated they had a four (4) day work week. This may be a strategy to keeping wages competitive will dealing with funding/budget restrictions. The practice of combining two or more employment position functions into one position is has become common in First Nations, Tribal Councils and Aboriginal. The example of Finance Clerk reflects the practice of combining Accounts Receivable Clerk, Accounts Payable Clerk and even Payroll Clerk into one Finance Clerk position in smaller First Nations, Tribal Councils and Aboriginal Family/Health Service organizations. GENERAL DEMOGRAPHICS & OPERATIONS INFORMATION Per Capita Funding s The following per capita funding calculations are based on total membership and total annual operating budgets for all First Nations, Tribal Councils, and Aboriginal Health/Family Service participating in this Survey. Note: These are general demographics and operation figures. funding amount per Band Member will vary among First Nations, Tribal Councils, /Aboriginal Health/Family Service. Some independent First Nations, not affiliated with a Tribal Council, nor receiving transferred Health or Family Services from a delegated Aboriginal Agency, may receive additional direct funding normally allocated to those other Aboriginal organizations. In addition, some Tribal Councils and Aboriginal Health and Family Service agencies may provide flow-through funding to member First Nations to manage and operate specific programs. These situations exist, and do affect annual operating budget numbers for all three types of Aboriginal organizations BC First Nations Report

The variables influencing and affecting per capita funding averages also affect the FTE ratio; and the nature and types of programs managed and operated by First Nations, Tribal Councils & Aboriginal Health/Family Service.

17 One (1) and Five (5) Year Funding Agreements A slight majority, twenty six (26) First Nations (52%) out of a total of fifty (50) First Nation salary survey respondents in the database, indicated they operate on AANDC one (1) year funding agreements. Eighteen (18) First Nations (36%) out of a total fifty (50) First Nation salary survey respondents indicated they operate on an AANDC five (5) year funding agreement and/or five (5) year Health Canada funding agreement. Three First Nations indicated they operated on an AANDC other multi-year funding agreement. Three (3) First Nations did not indicate their funding arrangement. Combined Tribal Council and Aboriginal Health/Family Service salary survey respondents indicate that there is an increase in one year (1) funding agreements. Out of a total of twenty two (22) respondents, a majority of fourteen (14) organizations (64%) indicated they operate on one (1) year funding agreements. Five (5) organizations (23%) indicated they operate on AANDC and/or Health Canada, five (5) year funding agreements. These percentages and number do not add up to twenty (20) surveys, or 100%, due to the fact that two responding organization did not indicate the length of their funding agreement and one indicated a two (2) year funding agreement. s A minority of fifteen (15) First Nations (30%) of fifty (50) First Nation salary survey respondents indicated they did have, and used, established salary scales. A majority of thirty five (35) First Nation organizations (70%) indicated they did not have, and did not use, established salary ranges. Only five (5) (23%) of the total twenty (22) Tribal Council and Aboriginal Health/Family Service respondents indicated they did not have, nor use, established salary scales. This percentage indicates that more and more Tribal Councils and Aboriginal (77%) have, and use, established salary scales BC First Nations Report

20 Position Title: Description: First Nation Chief (Chief Councilor) Tribal Council Chief (President, Chairperson) An elected position common to most all First Nations, this position has specific duties and responsibilities that are in addition to the general Chief and Council responsibilities. Chiefs usually chair council meetings and General Band Meetings (AGMs, AGAs); they are usually the official spokesperson for Council and the First Nation to Municipal, Provincial and Federal Governments, and in public and media relations; as the social and ceremonial head of the First Nation, the Chief officiates at community functions, receives high profile guests and represents the First Nation at important public functions outside the community. Chiefs may also undertake direct high profile portfolio management duties with respect to land claims, economic development, or other areas deemed of high priority or importance to their respective First Nations.

21 FIRST NATION NOTES: 1. It should be noted that in the First Nation $.15M - $2.4M budget range, one (1) First Nation did not include information on their elected Chief remuneration. Under salary only, one of the respondents likely presents the Chief as also being the general manager because the general manager salary was not included in their salary survey submission. 2. A majority of First Nations that submitted salary quotes; remunerate their Chiefs on an annual salary basis. In the $9.7M to $33M budget range, the majority of survey respondents (86%) paid their Chiefs in annual salary amounts or with permeeting honoraria. Depending on the size of the First Nation and duties required of the Chief; a low $50,000 to mid $60,000 range seems to be very appropriate remuneration for a majority of First Nation Chiefs. 3. A number of mitigating factors come to play when considering appropriate levels of Chief and Council, and indeed all Aboriginal Employee, pay. One large factor is the availability of standard benefits such as pension programs, holiday pay and leave rates, and other benefits that would normally be available to Federal and Provincial Leaders and public servants. 4. While unpopular with many First Nations, because of the principled Nation-to-Nation Treaty position, Municipal level Mayoral annual salary amounts might be used in the future as a comparison to First Nation Chief salary averages or honoraria amounts. No such comparison is made in this year s report as the comparison requires informed debate and agreement. TRIBAL COUNCIL NOTES: 1. While the salary average amount of $83,870 would be indicative of an annual salary paid to a large Tribal Council, smaller Tribal Councils would reduce the salary amount to an appropriate level. 2. Great care must be taken when evaluating the appropriate salary levels of leadership in Tribal Councils and First Nations, as some are involved in important treaty negotiations on behalf of member bands, and others provide more than the basic advisory services to their member First Nations. Some Tribal Councils provide numerous additional programs such as; economic development, natural resource management (fisheries, forestry, etc.) to, and with, their member First Nations. 3. As with First Nation Chiefs, unless there is another alternative or comparable position, Municipal level Mayoral annual salaries may be used in future comparison to Tribal Chiefs BC First Nations Report

22 Position Title: Description: First Nation Councilor/Director An elected position common to most all First Nations, these positions are usually assigned department or program portfolios. Councilors usually chair/attend committees meetings within assigned portfolios, and report progress on major initiatives at Chief and Council meetings. Some councilors may have signing authority and will review expenditure documentation prior to signing cheques for payment.

23 FIRST NATION NOTES: 1. One First Nation, in the $.15M to $2.4M budget range, did not submit a remuneration quote for their elected Councilor position. 2. One First Nation in the $2.4M to $4.7M budget range did not submit a remuneration quote for their Council members, this is why there are a total of 11 quotes and not 12 quotes. 3. It is apparent that small to medium size First Nations remunerate their Councilors using a variety of methods. 50% of First Nations prefer to remunerate their Councilors using annual honoraria only, while the rest used one or a combination of salary, per meeting honoraria, or a combination of both. First Nations in the highest budget range buck this trend by providing annual salary only, or per meeting honoraria only. 4. In reviewing the remuneration rates for First Nation Council Members across all budget ranges, readers will agree that we are beginning to see a general pattern where First Nations remunerate their Councilors in accordance with budget size. TRIBAL COUNCIL/ABORIGINAL HEALTH & FAMILY SERVICE AGENCY NOTES: 1. It is apparent that Tribal Councils do not provide annual salaries to council or board members. By far the most common form of Tribal Council Councilor or Board member remuneration is a per meeting honoraria where eight (8) of the eleven (11) survey respondents indicated this was the practice. 2. One Tribal Council that submitted remuneration for the Tribal Chief position did not submit one for a councilor position, this is why the total quote amounts add up to ten and not eleven BC First Nations Report

26 NOTES: 1. National Occupation Classification Code 0414; Other Managers in Public Administration was used as the classification for identifying the.com Community Development Manager I salary amount for this position. The $81,703 minimum salary, $93,760 average salary, and $104,915 maximum salary average is considered appropriate for the largest Tribal Councils and First Nations. This classification assumes a minimum Bachelor s Degree in Commerce, Business Administration, or Public Administration with seven to ten years experience. First Nation organizations requiring lower qualifications such as Associate Degrees, or are smaller in size, may want to use a much lower $50,000 to $60,000 salary average as their maximum salary for this position. 2. Attempts have been made to research, identify, and assign an appropriate Federal Government Classification and associated salary range to the Band Manager, Senior Administrator position. Managers of Canada Employment Centres with approximately 120 staff are assigned a PM-6 classification level. As of June 21, 2013 this level is remunerated at $89,112 - $101,892. There are seven levels to the Federal PM classification: Level 1: $49K to $54K; Level 2: $54K to $58K; Level 3: $58K to $63K; Level 4: $64K to $69K; Level 5: $76K to $82K; Level 6: $89K to 102K; Level 7: $97K to $108K. 3. The highest operating budget in the Tribal Council, Aboriginal Organization category contains a wide range in the minimum to maximum budget amounts ($4M to $23M).

The Federal Government provides funding to its SW-SCW-3 Social Worker Supervisors at an October 1, 2012 salaries range of; $59,461 - $71,589.
