Mandate

The Public Service of Ontario Act, 2006 (PSOA) sets out the roles and authorities of the Public Service Commission (PSC) granting most human resource authorities to the PSC and others to the Management Board of Cabinet (MBC). The MBC, under the PSOA, can also establish terms and conditions of employment by directive.

The mandate of the PSC, under Part III of the PSOA, is to ensure:

effective management and administration of human resources in relation to public servants that the PSC or its delegates appoint to employment by the Crown
non-partisan recruitment and employment of public servants that the PSC, or its delegates, appoint to employment by the Crown

Structure, roles and membership

The PSC is a “Non-Board-Governed Regulatory Agency” (as defined by the Agencies and Appointments Directive) without budget or staff. Secretariat services are provided by public service staff from the Centre for People, Culture and Talent (CPCT), a division of Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS). A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the President of the Treasury Board (TBS Minister) and the PSC Chair outlines expectations between the government and the agency. The PSC is accountable to the TBS Minister through the MOU.

Roles and membership (see Appendix 1 for 2022 membership list):

TBS Deputy Minister is the PSC Chair and permanent member of the PSC.
Assistant Deputy Minister, Talent and Leadership Division is the PSC Secretary, and a regular Ontario Public Service employee.
Secretary of the Cabinet, as head of the public service, is a permanent member of the PSC.
Other deputy minister members (nominated by the Secretary of the Cabinet based on experience, diversity and expertise) are appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council to the role of commissioner for a one-year term, which may be renewed.

The PSC role in HR governance for the Ontario Public Service

The PSC is assigned authority under the PSOA to establish terms and conditions of employment for employees in ministries and Commission public bodies. Authority covers appointments to the public service, discipline, investigations, dismissals, and post-service conflict of interest for ministry employees. The PSC issues directives and policies to establish principles and requirements to fulfil statutory obligations. The PSC authority does not extend to creation of job classes and compensation; this is retained by the MBC.

For effective HR management and accountability, the PSC delegates most authorities to deputy ministers for employees in ministries and to prescribed delegates for employees in Commission public bodies. In addition, MBC sub-delegates power to PSC as it relates to the creation of positions, salary or wage ranges and other terms and conditions of employment. Limits on sub-delegation are set where appropriate and the PSC retains the right to make (or overrule) decisions should it so choose. For example, the PSC retains authority to appoint senior executives in Executive 3 and Executive 4 classes of positions (assistant deputy minister, associate deputy minister or equivalent), and for dismissals of employees in all Executive classes of positions.

Resources

Commissioners are not remunerated to serve on the PSC. The PSC does not maintain a budget or staff, however, a staff resource (equal to half a full-time equivalent) from CPCT provides secretariat services. Duties include advice to ministries when preparing submissions for PSC consideration, agenda-setting, meeting coordination and distribution of meeting materials. Funding for the PSC’s administrative operations is provided by CPCT in accordance with TBS budgeting priorities and procedures.

Priorities

The PSC provides enterprise direction for the effective management of human resources in the Ontario Public Service. The CPCT in TBS assists the PSC in achieving objectives through enterprise-wide human resources planning, policy advice, strategy development, workforce data and business trends analysis, administrative management (coordination, agenda-setting and records management), reporting and talent consulting services for ministries. The PSC will, over the course of this business plan:

approve human resource management directives and policies and associated programs to shape a non-partisan, professional, ethical, competent, healthy and safe, diverse, accessible, anti-racist, inclusive and respectful public service, and mitigate workforce risks. PSC will oversee policy change recommendations that may result from the leadership pledge commitments associated with the third-party review of OPS inclusive workplace policies and programs
promote the Ontario Public Service values
oversee and monitor progress in achieving the strategic priorities and goals set out in the new OPS people and culture strategy to improve the employee experience, develop future-ready talent and equip the OPS to deliver excellent public services to Ontarians
optimize business processes for effective decision-making by the PSC
report annually on PSC performance against business plan commitments

Performance measures and annual targets

The PSC’s performance will be assessed against:

Policy development

Annually, 100% of non-compensation policies that form part of the annual HR policy review agenda (see Appendix 2) are reviewed.
100% completion of annual policy reviews where legislation (e.g., Occupational Health and Safety Act) prescribes the frequency of such reviews.

Public service talent and leadership

Annual reporting on number of appointments to Executive 3 or Executive 4 (or equivalent) classes of positions.
Quality of PSC executive appointments through a quality of hire index that measures the performance, retention, and growth potential of executives two years post-hire.
Analyze sociodemographic survey respondent information of PSC appointments to Executive 3 or Executive 4 (or equivalent) classes of positions to identify potential barriers faced by individuals from equity-deserving groups.

HR strategy

Implementation of the new OPS people and culture strategy to improve employee experience, develop future-ready talent and equip the OPS to deliver excellent public services as measured against established priorities.
Alignment with government and business priorities, programs and initiatives through the OPS people and culture strategy and reporting of performance against the associated measurement framework.

Conflict of interest

Annually, 85% of post-service conflict of interest determinations are made for ministry employees within 60 calendar days of receiving the request.
Annual reporting on number of requests for determinations received by former ministry employees, number requiring non-standard restrictions, and instances in which the PSC had to act due to non-compliance with direction.
Annual communication of requirements to 100% of ministry employees who are obligated to submit annual financial conflict of interest declarations to the Integrity Commissioner or attest to no change in status since their last declaration.

Administration and reporting

Implementation of PSC business process improvements to optimize effective and efficient deliberation, decision-making and communication of decisions made by the committee.
Submission of the annual report of achievements to the TBS Minister.

Risk assessment and mitigation

Acting within the authorities granted to it under PSOA, as well as those delegated to it by MBC, the PSC makes decisions with respect to several potentially high-risk matters related to:

policy direction for management of public servants
appointments of senior executives in Executive 3 and Executive 4 classes of positions
dismissals of employees in Executive (levels 2 to 4) classes of positions (or equivalent)
determinations of post-service conflict of interest for former ministry employees

The enterprise risk management framework provides an overarching structure that the OPS can utilize to embed risk management in decision-making and relevant organizational processes. Integration of risk management is a strategic, decision-making tool that minimizes threats and takes advantage of opportunities.

Assessment of PSC strategic priorities by likelihood and impact of risks are complemented by risk indicators and mitigation to determine risk appetite and tolerance in the execution of the mandate.

footnote[1] Back to paragraph Note: Mandatory annual reviews of the three Occupational Health and Safety Policies to be completed in 2021/22 with future comprehensive evaluation timing as tentative and confirmed on an annual basis. Priority for policy review agenda is based on legislative requirements (e.g., annual reviews of health & safety policies), length of time since last review, accuracy (e.g., organizational changes, designations, responsibilities), and operational and program feedback. Leadership Pledge commitments following the Third-Party Review of OPS inclusive workplace policies and programs may also inform prioritization.
