Priority Entitlements
The Public Service Commission’s (PSC) Priority Entitlement Program supports the referral and placement of persons with a priority for appointment in the public service, as outlined in the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and the Public Service Employment Regulations (PSER). Under this legal framework, persons who meet specific conditions have a right, for a specified or indeterminate period of time, to be appointed to positions for which they are qualified.
Priority Administration data refers to information on the number of persons with a priority entitlement 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 a priority entitlement and that organizations must search while conducting an appointment process.
