The Allocation Support Committee (ASC) is established by the Doctors of BC Board to provide ongoing support to the allocation process. The ASC shall:
- Meet as required to develop standard data sets for the allocation process. This will include information on intersectional and interprovincial compensation comparisons.
- Provide the standard data sets to the sections as they are developed and will seek input from the sections regarding the information.
- If necessary, calculate the allocation by section in Stage 1 of an allocation in accordance with the Two-Stage Fee Allocation Process.
- During the mediation phase, the ASC will provide data support and allocation options to the Sectional Allocation Forum (SAF). When developing the allocation options, the ASC will consider the stated goals and objectives of the negotiations.
- If the Stage 2 allocation proceeds to arbitration, the ASC will provide the arbitrator all data provided to sections and the SAF during the mediation phase, excluding the allocation options.
- Review and provide advice and recommendations on methodologies used in the allocation process such as the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) model and use of the overhead study.
