Foreign Service Directives Committee
The National Joint Council (NJC) is pleased to announce that it recently accepted the report of the Foreign Service Directives Committee in regard to the Cyclical Review of the Directives (FSDs).
The revised Directives apply to represented employees of the public service for whom bargaining agents are members of the NJC. Its provisions form part of the collective agreements of the participating parties under the By-Laws of the National Joint Council.
Implementation Date
The new NJC Foreign Service Directives are effective April 1, 2009.
Introduction
Provision is made under the Foreign Service Directives (FSD) to revise certain allowance and dollar amounts on the first of April each year in accordance with the methodologies agreed to in the National Joint Council Committee (NJC) on Foreign Service Directives.When published, the revised Foreign Service Directives effective April 1, 2009 will include where applicable the revised allowances and dollar amounts for 2009.The Directives were reviewed in light of current societal conditions, consideration for families and dependants, and the modernization of some provisions to reflect current practices and provide increased flexibility. As well, some provisions have been streamlined in order to further simplify the administration of the directives.Editorial changes have been made throughout the directives to facilitate the use and understanding of the Directives. Changes also include translation corrections, updated reference information, new sequence to enhance clarity and logic, and renumbering of subsections to accommodate additions and/or deletions.Listed below are significant changes to the Directives. As the Foreign Service Directives have been revised as a whole in order to ensure consistency, users are encouraged to consult the new text and understand the changes within the context of the revised directives.
The new directive will be available April 1, 2009 on the NJC website: http://www.njc-cnm.gc.ca.
List of Changes to the Directives

15.14: Weight limitations for the total quantity of household effects the deputy head can normally approve for shipment have been increased for one in household from 2700 kg net (5940 lbs) to 3100 kg net (6820 lbs) for furnished accommodation and from 4600 kg net (10,120 lbs) to 4700 kg net (10,340 lbs) for unfurnished.

A new Appendix A1 to FSD 15 has been added to specify provisions for Living Expenses in Temporary Accommodation – Relocation to a Place of Duty in Canada.
FSD 16 – Assistance for a principal residence
Property management fees are no longer reimbursable. As such, 16.04(b), and all references to the said provision, have been removed from the directive.
A second finder's fee (waiver of up to one month's shelter cost) may now be authorized to find a second or subsequent tenant for the employee's principal residence, within the maximum of nine months.
The provision of $100 for the cleaning of an employee's residence has been moved to FSD 15.31 – Incidental Relocation Expense Allowance.
FSD 17 – Assistance for spouses or common-law partners
The allowance for employment related expenses for spouses or common law partners may now be claimed for a period up to two years after arrival at the new place of duty, or upon official confirmation of a posting or assignment to Canada.
The provisions of FSD 17.04, FSD 17.05 and the appendix to FSD 17 have been transferred to FSD 18 – Special Family Separation Assistance.
FSD 18 – Special Family Separation Assistance
The following sections have been consolidated and expanded into one new directive FSD 18.
- 17.04 – Once per Career Assistance for Spouses or Common-law Partners, and
- 17.05 and the Appendix to FSD 17 – Special Short-term Separation Assistance for Spouses or Common-law Partners, and
- 15.34 – Family Separation Expenses
Benefits and provisions have been increased or clarified in the following areas.
Assistance is designed to recognize those situations which are attributable to foreign service, rather than those situations which result from personal choice and includes situations of separated families where an employee is accompanied by a dependant(s).
Assistance is available on more than one occasion, subject to specific conditions and limitations.
Waiver of shelter cost may only be claimed where the spouse/common-law partner resides in the employee's headquarters city, and incurs costs for shelter.
As long as the separation is for a minimum of 6 months, family reunion travel is available for separated dependants.
Where family reunion travel is authorized for separated dependant(s) who do not reside in the employee's headquarters city, the employee is responsible for return travel between the location of the separated dependant(s) and the headquarters city, unless the employee accepts the assignment on an unaccompanied basis.
In this case, the cost of travel is limited to return travel between the headquarters city and the employee's post, or, between the employee's post and the headquarters city, as applicable.
Education and education-related costs/expenses are now payable for secondary level education in addition to kindergarten and primary education of accompanying dependent children at the employee's post, in accordance with FSD 30 – Post transportation and related expenses, FSD 34 – Education allowances and FSD 35 – Education travel (subject to certain conditions).
Education expenses at a Lycée in Canada are payable in accordance with FSD 33 for a child residing with the employee's spouse or common-law partner in the headquarters city.
Relocation travel to and from the employee's mission for all separated dependants shall be authorized once during the employee's assignment if requested, except that, where the separated dependant(s) are not residing in the headquarters city, the employee shall be responsible for travel between the location of the separated dependant(s) and the headquarters city.
In this case, the relocation travel allowance shall be based on relocation travel from the employee's headquarters city to the employee's mission and from the employee's mission to the employee's headquarters city.
Payment of relocation expenses (including relocation travel) for separated dependants shall be approved for periods of 12 months or longer at the mission. The deputy head may approve assistance for periods of less than 12 months at the mission.
Except for relocation travel, there is no entitlement to relocation provisions under FSD 15 – Relocation, where the separated dependant(s) are not residing in the headquarters city.
A managerial discretion clause has been added, for situations where the assistance is clearly inadequate for an employee because of special circumstances not taken into account by FSD 18.
FSD 32 – Daycare assistance
The revised methodology includes increased flexibility to employees and their spouses and reflects a more contemporary approach to daycare.
The annual survey has been expanded to include 8 daycare centers in the Ottawa area instead of 4.
Employees may also now opt for an outside licensed private home daycare, when there is no space available in a licensed daycare centre.
Deductibles are now based on three age categories: infant, toddler and preschool. Pro-rating of daycare costs has been introduced for both a deductible and ceiling which can be adjusted based on the number of half-day periods used per month.
As of April 1, 2009, the monthly deductible for daycare is $1,447 for infants (0 to less than 18 months), $1,241 for toddlers (18 months to less than 2.5 years), and $935 for preschool aged children (2.5 years and older).
Registration fees will be reimbursable up to $250 once per calendar year per child.
FSD 33 – Education assistance at a Lycée in Canada
Provisions of this directive are now available to career rotational employees on assignment in Canada, outside the Ottawa/Gatineau area.
The directive has also been amended to clarify that a child must be aged 3 years and 8 months as of September 1st of the school year to qualify for assistance.
FSD 34 – Education allowances
University application fees and academic course evaluation fees which are in excess of those paid by students residing in Ontario, where such costs are incurred while attending the final year of secondary schooling within 12 months of graduation are now reimbursable.
Where an employee was required to pay school fees in advance of a school term at a private school in the headquarters city (e.g. Ashbury/Elmwood) and is subsequently posted prior to the commencement of that school term, the employer will make every effort possible to recover such fees from the school on behalf of the employee.
FSD 35 – Education travel
Situations where a parent may be reimbursed for return traveling expenses when accompanying a student to school in Canada have been expanded to include accompanying a student graduating from a secondary school outside Canada and who is under the age of 21 at the start of the school year at a post secondary educational institution in Canada; the provision will not be authorized where a legal guardian of the dependent student resides in Canada.
FSD 39 – Health care expenses
Where the treating physician certifies that a psychiatrist is not available at mission and therefore recommends treatment by a psychologist, reimbursement of psychologist fees which are in excess of the maximum amount reimbursable under the PSHCP may be authorized.
Where a Health Canada physician certifies and where the appropriate foreign service inter-departmental coordinating committee recommends that the treatment that occurred is consistent with the treatment which would have occurred within a hospital, reimbursement of a claim that has been denied by the Public Service Health Care Plan may be authorized.
FSD 41 – Health care travel
The cost of board, lodging, and laundry in private accommodation while on health care travel leave is now reimbursable up to a maximum of $50 a day CDN, as per Appendix C and D of the NJC Travel Directive.
FSD 50 – Vacation travel assistance (VTA)
The revised methodology reflects the Post Specific Allowance methodology in FSD 56.10. It is based on 80% of full Y fare for all posts (as opposed to 90% for those posts where a stopover would be authorized on relocation) and 100% of Y2 fare for posts where there is no full Y fare. As well, the rates/allowances are established annually on June 1st, rather than at the time the allowance is authorized.
Employees should anticipate changes in family size when applying for VTA. Once issued, VTA cannot be adjusted to recognize the arrival or departure of a dependant.
Where a VTA is authorized, dependants are no longer required to travel together or with the employee.
There is no longer a minimum of 10 compensation days of leave with pay which must be taken for vacation travel assistance.The allowance must be used for travel outside the mission, and may be used on one or more occasions. A travel plan must be submitted for everyone for whom an allowance has been authorized.Employees are expected to demonstrate that a minimum of 75% of the allowance is spent on travel and travel related expenses, including transportation, accommodation, meals and incidental travel expenses such as tours, entry fees etc. Certification is required on completion of travel or at the end of the posting.When travel is by PMV or rental vehicle, an employee may include expenses for vehicle rental, fuel, oil, road/bridge tolls, ferries and other transportation charges/fees, but may not base travel on a mileage/kilometric rate.
FSD 51 – Family reunion travel
Documentation from the airline is required when a child is not permitted to travel alone or when a child with special needs requires an escort.Travel to a third location for family reunion is no longer limited to a direct routing, and can be up to the cost of travel between the mission and the headquarters city.
FSD 54 – Compassionate travel
In the event of death of a parent of either an employee or of an employee's spouse or common-law partner, the deputy head shall now authorize travel for a minor child (under the age of 18).
FSD 55 – Post Living Allowance
The Post Living Allowance will be adjusted annually on June 1st to reflect the spendable income curve based on the inflation rate reported by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the previous calendar year.
The Post Living Allowance will continue to be revised on a four-year cycle based on the repositioning of the income curve resulting from Statistics Canada's Survey of Household Spending (SHS).
FSD 56 – Foreign Service Premium
The revised Foreign Service Premium methodology provides rate increases for the majority of employees, particularly for lower-salaried employees, and includes rates recognizing up to four or more dependants. Salary bands have been removed from the table (see Appendix A and C to FSD 56).
Where an employee at a post on April 1, 2009 is receiving a higher rate of Foreign Service Premium than would be received under the revised Foreign Service Premium table, such payments shall continue until the rate under the revised table equals or exceeds that rate, or on completion of posting, excluding any extension, whichever comes earlier.
FSD 58 – Post differential allowance
Consistent with FSD 56, the Post Differential Allowance table has been expanded to include rates recognizing up to 4 or more dependants.
The special payment to recognize active hostilities has been amended to include extraordinary conditions such as natural disasters. It has also been increased to up to 100% of the basic level V post differential allowance. Special payments in excess of 50% of the basic level V PDA, or additional assistance authorized by the President of the Treasury Board due to extraordinary conditions will now be reported to the NJC FSD Committee. (see Appendix to FSD 58)
For purposes of determining bonus payments, assignments in Canada between postings, which do not constitute a break in service, have been increased from 24 to 30 consecutive months, including periods of leave without pay.
Where following final departure from post, an employee is granted leave without pay prior to reporting for duty in Canada, the date of assignment in Canada, for purposes of FSD 58.06, is the date of commencement of leave without pay however, where not preceded by a period of leave without pay, assignments in Canada commence on the date the employee reports for duty in Canada.
FSD 64 – Emergency evacuation and loss
Where the deputy head approves reimbursement for costs related to emergency evacuations which are not otherwise covered, the accountable commercial transportation allowance of $100 weekly in Canada may be used for taxis or car rentals.
Rental of a mid-size vehicle rather than a compact vehicle will be authorized.
FSD 70 – Reporting requirements and verification of allowances
Changes to reporting requirements have been made, especially for Vacation travel assistance under FSD 50.

- Select the salary range in which your annual salary falls.
- Take the Midpoint/Nominal salary and multiply by the corresponding adjustment.
- Take the product and multiply by the Post Index, e.g. 130, then divide by 100.
- Subtract the product of #2 from the result, and you will have your annual Post Living Allowance.
- In accordance with the methodology agreed to in the National Joint Council Committee on Foreign Service Directives, the maximum midpoint/nominal salary is $100,000 for the purpose of determining Post Living Allowance.
Example 1
- A salary of $69,700 falls into the salary range of $69, 450 to $70,449, of which the Mid-point/Nominal salary is $69,950.
- Multiply $69,950 by 0.491, which yields $34,345.
- Multiply $34,345 by a Post Index of 130, then divide by 100.
- The result is $44,649. Subtract $34,345 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $10,304.
Example 2
- A salary of $120,350 falls into the salary range of $100,000 to $100,000 plus, of which the Mid-point/Nominal salary is $100,000.
- Multiply $100,000 by 0.422, which yields $42,200.
- Multiply $42,200 by a Post Index of 130, then divide by 100.
- The result is $54,860. Subtract $42,200 and the result is an annual Post Living Allowance of $12,660.
