2014-2015 Annual Report - Appendix 2

Table of Contents

Information about the statistical tables

More detailed Public Service Commission (PSC) Annual Report data are available at the PSC Web site.

Due to rounding, figures in this Annual Report may not add up to the totals.

Hiring and staffing activities

Hiring activities refers to indeterminate and term appointments to the public service, the hiring of casuals as per subsection 50(1) of the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and the hiring of students under the Student Employment Programs Participants Exclusion Approval Order. Indeterminate and term appointments to the public service include appointments from the general public, including former casuals, students and employees of government organizations that are not subject to the PSEA.

Staffing activities to and within the public service include appointments to the public service as well as promotions, lateral and downward movements and acting appointments of indeterminate and term employees. Deployments of employees within or between organizations that are subject to the PSEA are counted in lateral and downward movements.

Hiring and staffing activities data are derived from information received from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) Incumbent File. This file is extracted from the Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) pay system. The PSC has developed a series of algorithms that are used to produce the PSC’s official record of hiring and staffing activities across the federal public service, based on pay records submitted by organizations. Recruitment data for the Recruitment of Policy Leaders Initiative and the Post-secondary Recruitment Program (PSR) are based on individuals who have applied to these programs through the PSC’s Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) in the last two fiscal years, and where a match was found in the PSC hiring and staffing activities file covering the current fiscal year.

Population

Population data refers to the number of active employees in organizations under the exclusive appointment authority of the PSC (employees of organizations named in the Financial Administration Act — Schedule I, most of Schedule IV and some agencies in Schedule V). This differs from numbers reported by TBS that reflect employment in organizations under the Public Service Staff Relations Act. In addition, a number of separate agencies are subject to Part 7 of the PSEA, which administers the political activities of public servants. They are excluded from statistics presented in this Annual Report, except in Chapter 3 which is concerned with non-partisanship and political activities. The population count represents the number of active employees at a specific point in time.

Population data are derived from the TBS Incumbent File. This file is extracted from the PWGSC pay system.

Priority Administration

Priority Administration data refers to information on the number of priority entitlements registered with the PSC, the number of placements of persons with a priority entitlement and the number of removals for other reasons, by priority type.

This information is taken from the PSC’s Priority Information Management System (PIMS). PIMS is the PSC’s Web-based tool where organizations register their persons who have priority entitlement and that organizations must search while conducting an appointment process.

Applicant data

Applicant data refers to information on selected characteristics (e.g. geographical area and educational profile) for applicants to externally advertised processes, via the Post-Secondary Recruitment program, the Federal Student Work Experience Program and general external recruitment advertisements of departments and agencies.

This information is captured through the PSRS each time an application is submitted. Applicants may be represented more than once if they have submitted an application for more than one position.

Employment equity

Appointments to the public service

In 2012-2013, the PSC and the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer worked together to address a long-standing issue of different methodologies used within the public service to report employment equity (EE) information to Parliament. To address this issue, a common methodology was developed which ensures consistent reporting of EE data across the federal public service. This methodology improves the quality and completeness of information on EE designated groups, in addition to improving efficiencies by which departments and agencies obtain and report on EE data. This methodology is consistent with the measure of EE designated group representation in the population used by TBS.

Student hiring

Student EE data for Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities are based on those who applied and self-declared through the PSRS in the last two fiscal years, and where a match was found in the PSC hiring and staffing activities files covering the current fiscal year. Students hired in the Post-secondary Co-op/Internship Program are excluded. Data on women are derived from the TBS Incumbent File.

(b) Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada was created in 2014-2015 through the transfer of employees from eight Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) organizations (Canadian International Trade Tribunal, Canada Industrial Relations Board, Registry of the Specific Claims Tribunal of Canada, Public Servants Disclosure Protection Tribunal Canada, Human Rights Tribunal of Canada, Registry of the Competition Tribunal, Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board, and Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada) and individuals from four non-PSEA organizations (Public Service Staffing Tribunal, Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal, Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board, and Social Security Tribunal).

Notes: The difference between the number of active organizations identified in this table and the number of organizations who were under an Appointment Delegation and Accountability Instrument at the end of 2014-2015 (79) is related to organizations that do not show as separate entities in the Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) pay system. For these organizations, the Public Service Commission cannot identify population.

The population counts are taken from the incumbent file. The incumbent file, which comes from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, is an extract from the PWGSC pay system and may vary from counts maintained in organizational human resources systems.

(a) Advertisements with more than one work location are counted as multiple advertisements (one for each work location), which may impact geographic distribution. Excludes advertisements containing more than one group/level.

(b) An application is counted multiple times when it is received for an advertisement containing multiple work locations.

(c) This information is derived by matching the home address of the applicants (from the PSRS) to the geographic job area of those applicants who were appointed to the public service in 2014-2015 (from the PSC hiring and staffing activities files). Due to timing and data quality issues, the PSC was able to match approximately 80% of the appointments with the PSRS. Excludes terms of less than six months, casual and student hiring, the Executive group and separate agencies.

(a) The figures under FSWEP include applicants from the 2013 and 2014 campaigns. A campaign cycle occurs annually from October to October. An applicant can apply only once per campaign, but may apply to both campaigns and therefore be counted more than once in any given fiscal year. The total equals the number of applications in 2014-2015 found in Table 12.

(b) The figures represent the number of unique applicants to RAP advertisements. Given applicants can apply to multiple RAP advertisements, this figure is smaller than the number of RAP applications in Table 12.

(c) These numbers exclude cancelled advertisements.

(a) The number of carry-over from March 31, 2014 differs from the number of active cases at March 31, 2014 published in last year’s Annual Report due to priority registrations received late in March 2014 and activated after the start of the new fiscal year. The validation of data to the Priority Information Management System may also be a factor.

(b) Priority type changes are included in “Other removal.”

(c) Although the priority entitlement for surplus employees is established in the Public Service Employment Regulations, s. 40 of the Public Service Employment Act provides deputy heads with the authority to place their own organization’s surplus employees before considering other priority persons. Surplus employees within their home organizations accounted for 156 of the 218 appointments in 2014-2015.
