About the AS Classification
The AS (Administrative Services) group is the single largest classification in the federal public service, covering an enormous range of work: from processing applications and managing program delivery at the front line, to coordinating policy projects, overseeing contracts, and leading teams at the senior levels. If your role involves running the day-to-day operations of a federal program — rather than creating policy from scratch or writing code — you're likely classified as AS.
AS-01 and AS-02 are typical entry points: clerks, administrative assistants, and client service agents. AS-03 and AS-04 are the working-level backbone — most federal program officers and project coordinators sit here. AS-05 and above are managerial: section heads, senior project leads, and director-level administrative roles. The jump from AS-04 ($80,612) to AS-05 ($96,235) is the largest single-level salary increase in the group and usually reflects genuine management responsibilities.
The AS group falls under the Programme and Administrative Services (PA) collective agreement, negotiated between Treasury Board and PSAC. It shares its exact pay scale with the PM group — an AS-04 and a PM-04 earn identical salaries, despite technically different job functions. If you're trying to decide between AS and PM streams, the difference is more about which department and work culture you prefer than pay.
