I just want to throw this out there. Many people may or may not know this. Social Workers in the CAF are told to treat Compassionate Posting, Contingency Cost Move and Compassionate status the same. Despite the differences in the three, the criteria for all is the exact same. I personally thing this is crap. If I am not mistaken, Compassionate Posting and CCM requires an actual posting to a different geographical location. Compassionate Status may or may not come with any posting. There should be three different criteria, one for each. Apparently many social workers have told Mbrs that they have a social worker handbook that is off limits to CAF Mbrs that outlines decisions regarding this policy 5003-6. If this is true, then why not make it assessable to CAF mbrs.
I should add, that compassionate posting does not mean you have to employed in your current trade. Most people are not aware of this. The only reason I knew is because I read Grievance decision that stated the above.https://www.canada.ca/en/military-grievances-external-review/services/case-summaries/case-2015-110.html
If this is the case, then shouldn't this DAOD 5003-6 be re-visited by the Policy Makers to be more clearly defined?
