Public Service Employment Act
Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) Index
The Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) is the legislation that
contains the principles and conditions governing the recruitment and appointment
of personnel as well as other aspects of employment in the Public Service
such as recourse, lay off, priority for appointment and political activity.
The Act reinforces the values and principles inherent in the staffing
process which are intended to:
- safeguard, protect and enhance the integrity of the Public Service
of Canada;
- maintain and preserve a highly competent and qualified Public Service;
and
- ensure that the Public Service is non-partisan, free of discrimination
and its members are representative of Canadian society.
The PSEA is available in two formats -- HTML and PDF.
Each version includes additional explanatory information about the Act,
frequently asked questions (FAQs) and links to jurisprudence.
