Public Service Staffing Complaints Regulations

The Public Service Staffing Complaints Regulations, made pursuant to section 109 of the Public Service Employment Act, outline the procedures and guidelines for handling complaints related to lay-offs, revocation, appointments, or proposed appointments in the public service. The regulations aim to ensure fairness, consistency, and transparency in the resolution of these complaints.

The regulations apply to all complaints made to the Board under subsection 65(1) or section 74, subsection 77(1), or section 83 of the Act. They provide for various processes, including mediation, the exchange of information, and the order to provide information.

The regulations also establish rules for the participation of parties, intervenors, and other stakeholders in the complaint process. This includes requirements for providing notice, exchanging information, and making submissions.

Additionally, the regulations outline procedures for handling complaints, such as the time frame for filing a complaint, the format and content of the complaint, and the process for determining whether to extend or reduce the time limits.

The regulations also provide for the participation of various organizations, including the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Accessibility Commissioner, in certain cases.
