Mobility Provision - Former Minister’s Staff and Excluded Positions at the Office of the Governor General’s Secretary - Summary of Requests as of March 31, 2020: Supporting Documentation
Background Information
Ministerial staff are hired by ministers pursuant to section 128 of the Public Service Employment Act. Section 35.2 of the Act allows eligible former ministerial staff to apply to advertised internal appointment processes that are open to employees of the federal public service for a period of one year after they terminated their employment.
Persons formerly employed in certain excluded positions at the Office of the Governor General’s Secretary who have been hired after September 23, 2010, pursuant to section 4.1 of Office of the Governor General’s Secretary Employment Regulations may also participate in advertised internal appointment processes that are open to employees of the public service for a period of one year.
To be eligible, they must have worked as ministerial staff or at the Office of the Governor General’s Secretary for at least 3 consecutive years, and have ceased to be employed in that capacity.
The Public Service Commission of Canada confirms whether an employee currently or formerly employed in a Minister’s office meets the necessary criteria for mobility and provides those who do with electronic access to internal job postings throughout their eligibility period.
After their eligibility period, they continue to have access to external job postings.
The appointment of former ministerial staff and Office of the Governor General’s Secretary employees into public service positions, like all appointments to the public service, must respect merit.
