Provincial Responsibility Incentive (PRI)

  • 3% of the First Class Constable rate from the commencement of the 8th year of service to the completion of the 16th year of continuous service.
  • 6% of the First Class Constable rate from the commencement of the 17th year of continuous service and continues through to the completion of the 22nd year of continuous service.
  • 9% of the First Class Constable rate from the commencement of the 23rd year of continuous service and continues until service terminates.

The PRI will be considered as basic pay for the purposes of pension contributions and premium calculation (e.g. overtime, statutory holidays, vacation). It is not included in base salary for the purposes of calculating annual increases.

* The Provincial Responsibility Incentive is to recognize the contribution made by OPPA members to provincial policing across the province.

For employees hired prior to January 1, 2009, service for the purposes of the Provincial Responsibility Incentive (PRI) only will be composed of both continuous service with the Ontario Provincial Police and previous unbroken, full-time continuous service as a uniform officer with:

  • (a) a Police force which is amalgamated with the OPP;
  • (b) the Canadian Forces Military Police;
  • (c) the OPP Administered First Nations Police;
  • (d) any other Canadian Police Service.

For all other employees, service will be composed of only continuous service with the Ontario Provincial Police.

Increments Within the Salary Range

The Commissioner may grant a regular increase in salary to a member by advancing the member from one step of the salary range to the next step annually or semi-annually as prescribed by the salary schedule applicable, if the work of the member has been performed satisfactorily.

The Commissioner may grant an accelerated increase to a member by advancing the member two steps of the salary range at the time of a regular increase, or by granting an increase of one step before the time for a regular increase, if:

  • (a) the performance of work by the member has been exceptional as established by a performance rating report; and
  • (b) the member has not previously been granted an accelerated increase while in the same salary range.

The granting of an accelerated increase before the time for a regular increase shall not be considered in determining the anniversary date for the purpose of regular increase.

CS05 Special Adjustment

The rate for CS05 will be increased by a special adjustment of 3% effective January 1, 2007, prior to any across the board increase, and the across the board increase will be compounded on the special adjustment.
