Municipal HR built for the public sector.

From compensation benchmarking to workplace investigations, CG Hylton has served municipalities since 1981. We know the public employer rules, the AUMA data, and what holds up under scrutiny.

Municipal HR operates by different rules than the private sector. Collective agreements, FOIP compliance, council oversight, and compensation benchmarks that have to survive public comparison — these aren't edge cases, they're the baseline. After 45 years of work with municipalities, we understand how the environment actually functions. No generic advice. No learning curve at your expense.

Municipalities

Where we help.

Compensation Benchmarking

We benchmark salaries against AUMA and peer municipality data so your council can defend every compensation decision with confidence.

Workplace Investigations

Independent, procedurally sound investigations that meet the standard expected of a public employer and hold up under scrutiny.

HR Policy & Compliance

Employment Standards alignment, FOIP-compatible policies, and collective agreement support built for the municipal context.

Benefits Plan Design

Group benefits and pension plan design for unionized and non-union municipal staff, with carrier negotiation handled by us.

Salary Surveys

Custom compensation surveys benchmarked to municipalities of comparable size and function.

Ongoing HR Advisory

Structured support for CAOs and managers navigating complex people decisions without a full-time in-house HR team.

How it works

Simple, scoped, no surprises.

  • Discovery

    We map your current situation, existing agreements, and what leadership needs to see at the council or board level.

  • Scoped engagement

    Clear deliverables, clear timelines. No vague retainers or open-ended projects that run past their welcome.

  • Delivery and follow-through

    We present findings or implement programs and stay available for questions as they come up — renewals, escalations, mid-year issues.

Let's talk about what your municipality needs.
