Representation in Acting Appointments
Key Findings
- Overall, the representation of Women, Indigenous peoples and members of visible minorities in acting appointments were higher than their representation in the federal public service.
- Disaggregated results by occupational categories show areas where representation of employment equity groups and subgroups in acting appointments are below their representation in the federal public service. For example, visible minorities as a whole and the 4 visible minority subgroups covered in our analysis were all underrepresented in acting appointments in the Technical occupational category. This contrasted with the Audit where Black employees and Non-White West Asian/North African/Arab employees were not found to be underrepresented in acting appointments in the Technical category.
- Persons with disabilities were underrepresented in acting appointments as compared to their representation in the federal public service. This was also the case for all 6 occupational categories.
- Among visible minority subgroups, Black employees were not found to be underrepresented in acting appointments as compared to their representation in the federal public service overall since 2014. However, Black employees were underrepresented in acting appointments in the Technical and Administrative Support occupational categories.
- Chinese employees were underrepresented in acting appointments overall and in 4 of the 6 occupational categories as compared to their representation in the federal public service.
Background
The Public Service Commission’s “Audit of Employment Equity Representation in Acting Appointments” (referred to here as “the Audit”) was published September 24th, 2024. The Audit examined the trends in representation of designated employment equity groups in federal public service acting appointments and yielded the following recommendation:
“The PSC should share data on employment equity representation in acting appointments with departments and agencies to support deputy heads in identifying solutions and making appropriate changes for more inclusive staffing practices.”
In response to that recommendation, this analysis provides an update to the Audit’s first objective which is to determine whether the four designated employment equity groups are proportionately represented in acting appointments. It shifts the analysis period by 2 years to include the most recent fiscal years of data (2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023) which was not available at the time of the Audit and is divided into two sections:
- General makeup of acting appointments in the federal public service, and
- Representation of employment equity groups in acting appointments, both overall and by occupational categories.
The results of this analysis are consistent with the findings of the Audit for the federal public service overall with some differences with respect to operational categories. These differences are a result of the shift in the analysis period and not methodological.
Acting Appointments in the Federal Public Service
This analysis focuses on all acting appointments of at least 4 months, as opposed to the Audit that was restricted to acting appointments of at least 6 months (see Methodology for more details). Acting appointments are a significant part of staffing activities subject to the Public Service Employment Act:
- Over the 10 years included in this report, 45.2% of internal appointments were acting.
- The share of appointments that were acting decreased from 56.5% in fiscal year 2014 to 2015 to 37.9% in fiscal year 2018 to 2019 and then steadily increased to 47.0% in fiscal year 2022 to 2023.
Table 1: Composition of internal appointments and the share that are acting, fiscal year 2013 to 2014 to fiscal year 2022 to 2023
| Fiscal Year | Promotions | Acting appointments | Percentage of internal appointments that are acting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 to 2014 | 9 096 | 10 099 | 52.6% |
| 2014 to 2015 | 10 913 | 14 200 | 56.5% |
| 2015 to 2016 | 13 350 | 15 528 | 53.8% |

| 2021 to 2022 | 29 285 | 25 307 | 46.4% |
| 2022 to 2023 | 33 180 | 29 388 | 47.0% |
| Total | 211 542 | 174 574 | 45.2% |
Representation of employment equity groups in acting appointments
This section of the report analyzes acting appointments representation gaps and trends for the 4 employment equity groups and the 4 largest visible minority sub-groups. The analysis compares the representation of these groups in acting appointments to their representation in the employee population, over a 10-year period.
The report also compares employment equity representation shares in acting appointments for 6 occupational categories to their employee representation in their respective occupational category (feeder population). For the Executive occupational category, the feeder population also includes occupational classification where actings are most likely to have their substantive position. For this part of the analysis, to ensure sufficient data for the various breakdowns, including visible minority subgroups, the most recent 5 years of data were combined (from April 1, 2018 to March 31 2023). See section on methodology for a more detailed description.
Women
Representation overall
Women’s representation in acting appointments exceeded their representation in the federal public service for every year of the 10-year period examined (2013 to 2023). As for the most recent data analyzed (fiscal year 2022 to 2023), women’s representation in acting appointments (64.3%) was 7.7 percentage points higher than their representation in the federal public service overall (56.6%).
Table 2: Women’s share of acting appointments (2013 to 2023)
| Women | 2013 to 2014 | 2014 to 2015 | 2015 to 2016 | 2016 to 2017 | 2017 to 2018 | 2018 to 2019 | 2019 to 2020 | 2020 to 2021 | 2021 to 2022 | 2022 to 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women in acting appointments | 60.8% | 60.8% | 61.1% | 61.9% | 63.2% | 64.2% | 63.7% | 63.3% | 65.4% | 64.3% |
| Women in the federal public service | 54.1% | 54.3% | 54.4% | 54.6% | 54.9% | 54.8% | 55.0% | 55.6% | 56.0% | 56.6% |
Representation by occupational categories
Representation of women in acting appointments exceeded their representation in the feeder population for 5 of the 6 occupational categories. The Operational category was the only category where women were underrepresented for the 5-year cumulative period. This differs from the Audit finding that women were underrepresented in the Technical category.
Table 3: Women’s share of acting appointments by occupational category (2018 to 2023 combined)
| Women | Executive Group | Scientific and Professional | Administrative and Foreign Service | Technical | Administrative Support | Operational |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women in acting appointments | 56.4% | 62.8% | 67.5% | 30.2% | 78.0% | 21.5% |
| Women in the feeder population | 52.1% | 54.8% | 60.6% | 29.4% | 76.3% | 23.0% |
Intersectionality: Women in employment equity groups
The analysis compared the representation in acting appointments of women who are members of visible minorities, Indigenous women, and women with disabilities to their representation in the federal public service. From 2013 to 2023, the average representation of each of these 3 intersectional groups in acting appointments exceeded their average representation in the federal public service (Appendix B Tables 18, 19 and 20). This finding is consistent with the Audit.
Indigenous Peoples
Representation overall
Overall, Indigenous Peoples’ share of acting appointments matched or exceeded their representation in the federal public service since fiscal year 2015 to 2016.
Table 4: Indigenous Peoples’ share of acting appointments (2013 to 2023)
| Indigenous Peoples | 2013 to 2014 | 2014 to 2015 | 2015 to 2016 | 2016 to 2017 | 2017 to 2018 | 2018 to 2019 | 2019 to 2020 | 2020 to 2021 | 2021 to 2022 | 2022 to 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indigenous Peoples’ acting appointments | 4.7% | 4.7% | 5.2% | 5.3% | 5.2% | 5.5% | 5.2% | 5.5% | 5.2% | 5.3% |
| Indigenous Peoples in the federal public service | 5.1% | 5.1% | 5.2% | 5.3% | 5.2% | 5.1% | 5.1% | 5.3% | 5.2% | 5.3% |
Representation by occupational categories
For the most recent cumulative 5-year period, Indigenous employees’ representation in acting appointments was below their representation in the respective feeder population for 3 of the 6 occupational categories. Indigenous employees were underrepresented over the 5-year period in the Technical (-1.2 percentage points), Administrative Support (-1.1 percentage points), and Operational (-0.3 percentage points). The Audit did not conclude that Indigenous employees were underrepresented in acting appointments in the Operational category but results were consistent for the other 2 categories.
Table 5: Indigenous Peoples’ share of acting appointments by occupational category (2018 to 2023 combined)
| Indigenous Peoples | Executive Group | Scientific and Professional | Administrative and Foreign Service | Technical | Administrative Support | Operational |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indigenous Peoples’ acting appointments | 5.5% | 3.9% | 5.6% | 3.5% | 5.4% | 7.1% |
| Indigenous Peoples in the feeder population | 4.5% | 3.5% | 5.3% | 4.7% | 6.5% | 7.4% |
Persons with disabilities
Representation overall
Persons with disabilities’ representation in acting appointments was below their representation in the federal public service across all 10 years. The gap between their representation in acting appointments and in the federal public service narrowed each year, going from a ‑1.2 percentage points in fiscal year 2013 to 2014 to -0.3 percentage points in fiscal year 2022 to 2023.

Representation by occupational categories
Persons with disabilities’ representation in acting appointments was lower than their representation in all 6 occupational categories analyzed. The largest gap was in the Administrative Support category where the difference in their representation between acting appointments (6.2%) and the feeder population (7.3%) was -1.1 percentage points. The Audit also found that Persons with disabilities were underrepresented in all categories except the Operational category.
Table 7: Persons with disabilities’ share of acting appointments by occupational category (2018 to 2023 combined)
| Persons with disabilities | Executive Group | Scientific and Professional | Administrative and Foreign Service | Technical | Administrative Support | Operational |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Persons with disabilities’ acting appointments | 5.4% | 4.8% | 5.6% | 3.3% | 6.2% | 3.7% |
| Persons with disabilities in the feeder population | 6.1% | 5.1% | 6.4% | 3.9% | 7.3% | 4.1% |
Members of visible minorities
Representation overall
Members of visible minorities’ representation in acting appointments has consistently been higher than their representation in the federal public service population. For the fiscal year 2021 to 2022, visible minorities’ representation was 2.8 percentage points higher in acting appointments than their representation in the federal public service. The gap narrowed to 2.5 percentage points in fiscal year 2022 to 2023.

Representation by occupational categories
Visible minorities’ representation in acting appointments in 5 of the 6 occupational categories matched or exceeded their representation in their respective feeder populations. However, their representation in acting appointments was 3.4 percentage points below their representation in the feeder population for the Technical category. In addition to the Technical category, the Audit concluded that visible minorities were also underrepresented in acting appointments in the Executive category.

Representation overall
Representation of Black, South Asian/East Indian and Non-White West Asian/North African/Arab employees in acting appointments matched or exceeded their representation in the federal public service overall since 2017. Chinese Employees’ representation in acting appointments has been below their representation in the federal public service every year except in fiscal year 2017 to 2018 where it was equal.

Representation by occupational categories
Members of visible minorities were underrepresented in acting appointments in only the Technical occupational category. All four subgroups analysed were also underrepresented in the Technical occupational category and 3 of the 4 visible minority subgroups were underrepresented in other occupational categories.
- Black employees were underrepresented in the Administrative Support category. By contrast, the Audit found that Black employees were underrepresented in acting appointments in the Scientific and Professional, and Administrative Support categories, but not the Technical category.
- Chinese employees were underrepresented in the Executive, Scientific and Professional, and the Administrative and Foreign Service categories, consistent with the Audit results.
- While the report found South Asian/East Indian employees were only underrepresented in the Technical category the Audit identified underrepresentation in the Scientific and Professional, and the Technical categories.
- Non-White West Asian/North African/Arab employees were underrepresented in the Executive and Operational categories. The Audit did not find Non-White West Asian/North African/Arab employees to be underrepresented in any of the 6 occupational categories.

Conclusion
- Overall, Women, Indigenous peoples and members of visible minorities are not underrepresented in acting appointments as compared to their representation in the federal public service.
- However, the disaggregated results by occupational categories show areas where underrepresentation in acting appointments exists, such as, Operational for women and Technical for Indigenous peoples and members of visible minorities.
- Persons with disabilities are underrepresented in acting appointments as compared to their representation in the federal public service. This gap has narrowed over the 10 years analysed.
- In addition, Persons with disabilities are underrepresented in acting appointments in all 6 occupational categories.
- Looking at visible minority subgroups, Chinese employees were underrepresented in acting appointments overall and in 4 of the 6 occupational categories.
- While we observed general consistency with the results from the Employment Equity Aduit Report, the differences observed at the occupational category level reinforce the recommendation from the Audit to continue monitoring representation in acting appointments.
Appendix A: Methodology
The methodology in this analysis follows that of objective 1 of the “Audit of Employment Equity Representation in Acting Appointments” with the following exception: The Audit restricted the analysis to include only acting appointments with a duration of at least 6 months to align with audit objective 3: “review of a random sample of 350 advertised and non-advertised acting appointments of at least 6 months”. This analysis includes all acting appointments with a duration of at least 4 months from all departments and agencies of the federal public service subjected to the Public Service Employment Act. Comparing representation in acting appointments of at least 4 versus 6 months did not have any impact on the results. This analysis uses 10 years of system-wide data (April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2023) to identify trends and gaps in representation of employment equity groups in acting appointments.
Acting appointments in the federal public service
Data from the hiring and staffing files from fiscal year 2013 to 2014 to fiscal year 2022 to 2023 are used to described acting appointments as a share of all internal appointments that are subject to the Public Service Employment Act. This data is also used to show a breakdown of acting appointments based on whether the appointment was staffed through an advertised or non-advertised staffing process.
Overall representation (10 years)
The analysis compares representation shares of each employment equity group and the 4 largest visible minority sub-groups in acting appointments to their representation share in the federal public service. This comparison is done by fiscal year (from fiscal year 2013 to 2014 to fiscal year 2022 to 2023).
The 4 largest visible minorities sub-groups for which sufficient data is available to draw observations are Black, Chinese, South Asian/East Indian, and Non-White West Asian/North African/Arab.
Representation in acting appointments by occupational category (5 years cumulative)
To accommodate the disaggregation of occupational categories in combination, this part of the analysis combines the most recent 5 years of data (fiscal year 2019 to 2020 to fiscal year 2022 to 2023).
This analysis compares representation rates of each employment equity group and visible minority sub-groups in all acting appointments to their representation in the feeder population for each of the following 6 occupational categories:
- Administrative and Foreign Service
- Administrative Support
- Executive
- Operational
- Scientific and Professional
- Technical
Except for the Executive occupational category, the “feeder” populations for all occupational categories are the occupational categories of the acting appointment. The “feeder” population for the Executive occupational category consists of the EX group and the following occupational classifications:
| AOCAI04 | CTEAV04 | IS 06 | PG 06 |
| AR 03 | CTIAU04 | IT 04 | PH 03 |
| AS 06 | EC 07 | IT 05 | PM 06 |
