This is preview of some singled out positions in a cut plan, it would be nice for this to go without roadblocks,
if I proven wrong, get a good argument not to implement such measures, I can admit error from reasoned words. If there is a lack of workers for the private sector, as they say, well this will help with that.
I am sickened at what I have seen thus far. It’s like a CUPE piggy bank.
All not singled out are still up for audits.

Payroll Clerk – 9 salaries reported – $30.60 per hour
Payroll Manager – 6 salaries reported – $96,283 per year
Senior Budget Analyst – 4 salaries reported – $41.87 per hour [Audit, start by removing 2]
Senior Financial Analyst – 5 salaries reported – $95,477 per year [Audit, start by removing 2]
Senior Payroll Clerk – 3 salaries reported – $30.36 per hour

Administrative Assistance
Administrative Assistant – 11 salaries reported – $30.54 per hour [I predict these will shrink, 1 per dept ought to be enough, 11 seems a bit high.]
Administrator – 11 salaries reported – $39.75 per hour [I predict these will shrink, 1 per dept ought to be enough, 11 seems a bit high.]
Cashier/Receptionist – 5 salaries reported – $23.29 per hour [Why is their a Cashier?]
Clerk – 32 salaries reported – $29.54 per hour [Likely the safest job, oddly enough, still could still be audited for redundancy]
Contract Specialist – 10 salaries reported – $40.13 per hour [I see no reason for these, certainly not that many, in any job one should understand contracts]
Development Assistant – 3 salaries reported – $27.76 per hour [Another thing, these are people who are part of our tax problem, fundraising for projects, seems useless as a full time non-freelance thing anyway, at least one ought to be enough].
Development Coordinator – 3 salaries reported – $40.45 per hour [They contribute growth and development of a Government. So no need for them.]
Engineering Assistant – 16 salaries reported – $30.39 per hour [Something to maybe look at freelancing, but they do conduct inspections, but still takes an audit]
Legal Secretary – 4 salaries reported – $27.46 per hour
Library Assistant – 6 salaries reported – $22.95 per hour
Operations Associate – 15 salaries reported – $27.91 per hour [I think things can run with at least 5].
Planner – 197 salaries reported – $50.37 per hour [It’s not just a huge salary, but it’s really about Government owned land and usage, and we could use much less of this, it’s a pretty vague title, on top of everything else. Highly Arbitrary. Even for zoning private land, there is way to much, and I am planning to demand that zoning be changed, mass zoning ending, and no zoning restrictions on individuals doing business, or renting a garage to someone for business. Like an office or studio, recording studio, etc….]
Program Assistant – 11 salaries reported – $21.25 per hour [A program assistant is mainly responsible for providing support for a specific program. A perfectly fine thing to hire freelance when there is a reasonable program to go forward on, more freelance ads accountability, because you have show spending for those positions for each project, not just a salary. Savings can be higher, even if the occasional freelancer is paid more per hour.]
Quantity Surveyor – 12 salaries reported – $39.93 per hour [This manages and plan all costs associated with all types of construction projects, I suspect if it’s needed, it can be freelance.]
Records Clerk – 5 salaries reported – $28.26 per hour – -1 Clerk
Records Coordinator – 3 salaries reported – $28.60 per hour – -1 Coordinator
Scheduler – 4 salaries reported – $25.98 per hour [Audit, this can possibly be handled by a lot of jobs].
Senior Administrative Assistant – 60 salaries reported – $25.98 per hour [Organizing Junkets, not highly necessary]
Senior Engineering Assistant – 42 salaries reported – $32.62 per hour [See Engineering Assistant, 42 to 16 of the regular is stupid.]
Senior Office Clerk – 3 salaries reported – $27.76 per hour – -1
Senior Planner – 14 salaries reported – $55.41 per hour [See Planner]
Senior Program Assistant – 40 salaries reported – $25.25 per hour [40 of these to 11 of the regular is outrageous, see Program Assistant]
Service Clerk – 4 salaries reported – $29.17 per hour
Site Coordinator – 3 salaries reported – $45.48 per hour [Person who plans and coordinates events for organizations, businesses and schools. They are responsible for things like vetting and hiring vendors, building public awareness and budgeting costs for events….really no reason for a non-freelance.]
Traffic Assistant – 5 salaries reported – $23.49 per hour [Not a terribly useful office in the public sector, how much goods and services are we transferring about?]

Assuming there is honestly 6 public works, ought to be 1 per works, at most, but one could give 40 an hour if they can handle all of them. Even 50 and still save, an audit question for sure.

Customer Service
Attendant – 36 salaries reported – $23.62 per hour – That (36) seems like a lot for a vague service job. Audit.

Customer Service Representative – 6 salaries reported – $28.88 per hour
Senior Customer Service Representative – 5 salaries reported – $25.60 per hour – Since there are 6 regular, and they should just have 2, 3 answering to 2.

Driving
Driver Trainer – 5 salaries reported – $35.04 per hour -3
