Appointment Policy
The new Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) provides greater scope for deputy heads to customize the appointment process to meet the needs of their organization.
The appointment policy was developed in accordance with the new PSEA, which gives the Public Service Commission (PSC) authority to establish policy on the manner of making and revoking appointments and taking corrective action. The policy is composed of a number of policies on specific subjects that correspond to key decision points in appointment processes and should be read in conjunction with the Public Service Employment Regulations. There are also a number of Exclusion Approval Orders (in development) that exempt some appointments from the application of all or part of the new PSEA and therefore from the application of some or all of these policies.

Employment Policies
Under the new PSEA, responsibility for various aspects of employment has moved from the PSC to Treasury Board (TB). At the same time new provisions in the Act are changing the way human resources are managed in government. Both of these events are causing a ripple effect on employment policy. As a result, the TB is considering regulations and policies in four affected policy areas: the definition of promotion, deployment, rate of pay on appointment and appointment level.
