Priority Entitlements

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. 2024-10-09 Public Service Commission of Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Government and PoliticsLabourProcessesPSCPublic Service CommissionEntitlementsAppointmentsPriorityPersons with a Priority EntitlementVeteranSurplusMedically ReleasedLeave of AbsenceLayoffDisabled EmployeeRelocation of SpouseReinstatementSurviving SpouseCommon Law PartnerRoyal Canadian Mounted PoliceRCMPCAFCanadian Armed Forces Supporting DocumentationPDF https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/psc-cfp/documents/data-donnees/ar-ra/2016/pims-sgip/pims-sgip-documentation-eng.pdf Supporting DocumentationPDF https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/psc-cfp/documents/data-donnees/ar-ra/2016/pims-sgip/pims-sgip-documentation-fra.pdf Priority entitlements (public service total) CSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/83dcf122-d050-4def-8456-d23b718c6b22/resource/f8cc4ef5-39fd-407e-a52a-5de9a711cbe5/download/priority-entitlements-2023-204-open-gov.csv Medically released members of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Surplus employees – New entitlements compared to appointments, by fiscal yearCSV https://open.canada.ca/data/dataset/83dcf122-d050-4def-8456-d23b718c6b22/resource/91947b62-867e-43b6-9bdd-a10d3b375b8d/download/medically-released-and-surplus-employees-2023-2024.csv Priority Entitlements: Supporting DocumentationHTML https://www.canada.ca/en/public-service-commission/services/publications/priority-entitlements-supporting-documentation.html Priority Entitlements: Supporting DocumentationHTML https://www.canada.ca/fr/commission-fonction-publique/services/publications/administration-droits-priorite-documentation-appui.html
