Canadian Job Levelling Navigator - Starter Edition

Building a job architecture in Canada isn't just an org design exercise — it's a compliance obligation. The Job Levelling Navigator: Canadian Edition is a structured, multi-tab HR tool that walks you through framework design, level assignment, salary band building, ESA classification, and pay transparency compliance — all in one browser-based file. No software. No subscription. No data leaves your device.

Built for Canadian HR and Total Rewards professionals who need to do this work correctly, defensibly, and efficiently.

What's inside — 7 tabs, one tool:

📋 Framework Explore four career tracks across 21 defined levels — Operations & Trades (S01–S05), Professional (P01–P06), Management (M01–M06), and Executive (E01–E03). Each level includes competency descriptors, scope, discretion, collaboration, supervisory authority, experience requirements, and bonus eligibility guidance. Benchmarks are drawn from Statistics Canada SEPH and Job Bank 2024 data.

🔍 Level Finder Answer structured questions about the role — scope, autonomy, people leadership, complexity, and impact — and receive a recommended level with a full scoring rationale. Designed for new role design, calibration discussions, and promotion decisions.

💰 Salary Band Builder (CAD) Configure up to three industry groups using Canadian market data across 12 sectors (technology, healthcare, finance, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and more). Pre-fill from Statistics Canada benchmarks, compare Min/Mid/Max across all levels simultaneously, and flag band compression automatically. All figures in Canadian dollars.

⚗️ Band Blender Blend up to three industry groups into a single set of CAD salary bands using simple average, higher-of, or lower-of methodologies. Choose your percentile (P25, P50, P75, P90) and export the blended output as CSV or print to PDF.

🍁 ESA Classifier A province-by-province classification worksheet covering Ontario, BC, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland, and the federal Canada Labour Code. Assess overtime eligibility, managerial exemption (including the gray zone of working managers), compensation basis, pay equity obligations, and pay transparency requirements for each province. Generates a printable justification memo.

📄 Compliance Reference Side-by-side provincial and federal reference covering overtime thresholds, minimum wages (2024), managerial exemption criteria, pay equity legislation, and pay transparency obligations — organized by province with enforcement notes.

📑 Export Summary A consolidated, print-ready summary of your Level Finder result, ESA classification, and salary band output — formatted for HR files, manager briefings, or audit documentation. Print or save as PDF.

Who this is for: HR Managers, Compensation Analysts, HRBPs, and Total Rewards professionals at Canadian organizations responsible for job architecture, salary band design, employment standards compliance, or pay transparency readiness.
