2008-2009 Annual Report - Appendices

Appendix 7

Statistical tables

The Annual Report includes a number of figures and tables, the data for which have been derived from a variety of sources. More complete data are available electronically at www.psc-cfp.gc.ca.

Data source

The information on hiring and staffing activities is derived from data received from the incumbent file of the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer. This file is extracted from the Public Works and Government Services Canada pay system. The Appointment Information and Analysis Directorate of the Public Service Commission (PSC) has developed a series of algorithms that are used against these files to produce the PSC's official record of hiring and staffing activities across the federal public service, based on pay transactions submitted by departments and agencies.

Hiring activities — Hiring activities refer to appointments to the public service, the hiring of casuals as per subsection 50(1) of the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and the recruitment of students under the Student Employment Programs Exclusion Approval Order and Regulations.

Staffing activities — Staffing activities refer to appointments to the public service and staffing activity within the public service. An appointment to the public service includes the appointment of a person from the general public or the appointment of an employee of a government department or agency that is not subject to the PSEA. Staffing activity within the public service includes all appointments and/or deployments of employees within or between departments or agencies that are subject to the PSEA.

Population — The population graphics reflect the population of organizations that fall under the jurisdiction of the PSC. The PSEA universe is defined in Schedules I, IV and V of the Financial Administration Act.

The organizations in Schedules I and IV are the departments/agencies and portions of the core public administration and are, with some exceptions, subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the PSC for their appointments. With the exception of those specifically identified (the Canadian Dairy Commission and the Public Service Staffing Tribunal), these organizations also form part of the PSC's universe.

The organizations found in Schedule V are separate agencies. Certain of these are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the PSC for their appointments and thus also form part of the PSC's universe.

Priority administration — Information on the number of priority entitlements registered with the PSC, the number of priority person placements and the number of removals for other reasons, by priority type, are taken from the PSC's Priority Information Management System (PIMS). PIMS is the PSC's Web-based tool with which organizations register their persons who have priority entitlement, and that organizations must search when conducting an appointment process.

Applicant data — Information on selected characteristics (e.g. geographical area and educational profile) for applicants to externally advertised processes, via the Post-secondary Recruitment programs, the Federal Student Work Experience Program and general external recruitment advertisements of departments and agencies. This information is captured through the Public Service Resourcing System each time an application is submitted. An applicant may be represented more than once in a table if they have submitted an application for more than one employment category.

(a) The figures for women appointed to the public service are extracted from the PSC hiring and staffing activities files. These exclude specified term appointments of less than three months and appointments to separate employers. These PSC files are based on the Public Works and Government Services pay file.
(b) The figures for three employment equity (EE) groups are based on applicants who applied and self-declared through the PSC's Public Service Resourcing System in the last two fiscal years and where a match was found in the PSC's appointment file as of March 31, 2009. The figures do not include specified terms under three months and separate employers. The sum of EE groups does not equal the total as a person may self-declare in more than one EE group and men are included in the total. Consequently, the totals do not match other tables.

The suppression of certain data cells has been applied in order to respect the confidentiality requirements of personal information. They have been replaced by the missing value indicator ' * '.

(a) The Student Employment Programs Exclusion Approval Order and Regulations that took effect on April 9, 1997. It excludes students from the operation of the former Public Service Employment Act, with the exception of subsections 16(4) and 17(4), which deal with citizenship. These hirings are no longer considered appointments to the public service under the Act. This Order is currently being revised.
(b) The figures under PSR include appointments of applicants from the current and previous years' campaigns, as not all appointments are completed within the same fiscal year. The figures also include appointments under the Accelerated Economist Training Program and Management Trainee Program. These figures include appointments of applicants from the PSC's PSR and exclude appointments of post-secondary graduates made directly by organizations.
(c) The total 37 991 plus 18 699 casuals equals the overall hiring activity to the public service of 56 690 persons as indicated in Table 31 in Appendix 7.

(a) Lateral and downward movements include deployments. As appointment process is not captured by the pay system, it is not possible to differentiate between lateral and downward appointments and deployments.
(b) Excludes acting appointments of less than four months.

Note:   The difference between the number of organizations in this table (78) and the number of organizations with ADAIs (82) is related to organizations that do not show as separate entities in the PWGSC pay system, which means that for these organizations the PSC cannot show population and/or hiring and staffing activities (Public Appointments Commission Secretariat, Registry of the Specific Claims Tribunal and Veterans Review and Appeal Board).

* Most of the decrease in the number of employees for Justice Canada is explained by the creation of Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPD) in December 2006. As of April 2008, PPD was reported as a separate entity in the PWGSC pay system. In March 2009, PPD reported a population of 783 employees. Justice Canada experienced a growth of 258 employees or a 5.0% change over last year.

The population counts are taken from the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer's incumbent file which is an extract from the PWGSC pay system and may vary from counts maintained in organizational human resource systems.

(a) The number of carry-over from March 31, 2008, differs from the number of active cases at March 31, 2008, published in last year's Annual Report due to priority registrations received late in March 2008 and activated after the start of the new fiscal year. The validation of data to the Priority Information Management System may also be a factor.
(b) Priority type changes are included in "Other Removal."
