Hiring activities refers to indeterminate and term appointments to the public service, the hiring of casuals as per subsection 50(1) of the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and the hiring of students under the Student Employment Programs Participants Exclusion Approval Order. Indeterminate and term appointments to the public service include appointments from the general public, including former casuals, students and employees of government organizations that are not subject to the PSEA. Staffing activities to and within the public service include appointments to the public service as well as promotions, lateral and downward movements and acting appointments of indeterminate and term employees. Deployments of employees within or between organizations that are subject to the PSEA are counted in lateral and downward movements. Hiring and staffing activities data are derived from information received from the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) Incumbent File. This file is extracted from the Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) pay system. The Public Service Commission (PSC) has developed a series of algorithms that are used to produce the PSC’s official record of hiring and staffing activities across the federal public service, based on pay records submitted by organizations. Recruitment data for the Recruitment of Policy Leaders Initiative and the Post-Secondary Recruitment Program are based on individuals who have applied to these programs through the PSC’s Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) and where a match was found in the PSC hiring and staffing activities file covering the current fiscal year.

The Employment Dynamics is a compilation of statistical tables on employment, payroll and the number of businesses with employees for Canada, the provinces and territories. They are published annually by Statistics Canada’s Small Business and Special Surveys Division, which derives the Dynamics figures from information supplied by the Business and Labour Market Analysis Division. Primarily, the tables are used to analyze how businesses of different sizes contribute to employment change in the economy. Net year-over-year changes in total employment are broken down according to the following gross components, which are calculated for individual employment-size groupings of firms: Job gains attributed to newly identified employers; Job losses attributed to firms that ceased to be identified as employers; Job gains attributed to continuing employers that increased their respective employment levels; Job losses attributed to continuing employers that decreased their respective employment levels; The Dynamics are also useful in that they provide estimated counts of entries and exits of businesses from the employer population in Canada. The data cover all private and public sector businesses or organizations (including public administration) that issue T4 slips to employees for taxation purposes. Both incorporated and unincorporated entities are included, but only if they issue T4 slips to employees. In other words, non-employers are not included in the figures.

Overview

The Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act, 1996 makes Ontario’s public sector more open and accountable to taxpayers. The act requires organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Ontario to make public, by March 31 each year, the names, positions, salaries and total taxable benefits of employees paid $100,000 or more in the previous calendar year.

The act applies to organizations such as:

• the Government of Ontario
• Crown agencies
• municipalities
• hospitals
• boards of public health
• school boards
• universities and colleges
• Ontario Power Generation
• other public sector employers who receive a significant level of funding from the provincial government

The net employment growth rate in the private sector in Canada amounted to 7.1 percent in 2022. Between 2002 and 2022, the growth rate rose by 5.4 percentage points, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend.

The Employment Equity Act prescribes that this report cover the portions of the public service of Canada set out in Schedules I and IV of the Financial Administration Act. Seventy-three departments, agencies and commissions comprise the core public administration (CPA), for which the Treasury Board is the employer (see Table 1). The statistics in this report include only employees working for these organizations, which numbered 181,356 on March 31, 2014.

This report includes information on indeterminate employees, term employees of three months or more, and seasonal employees, with the exception of those seasonal employees who are on leave without pay at the end of March for each fiscal year. No information is reported on students, casual workers or employees on leave without pay, such as those on care and nurturing leave and educational leave.

Statistics in this document also exclude Governor in Council appointees, ministerial staff, federal judges and deputy ministers, who are also on the public service payroll. As required under the Employment Equity Act, annual reports to Parliament present information for the fiscal year beginning April 1 and ending March 31.

The statistics of separate employers, covered under Schedule V of the Financial Administration Act, are not included in this report. Under the Employment Equity Act, separate employers that have more than 100 employees (e.g., the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency) are required to provide their reports to the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat only for the purposes of tabling in Parliament at the same time as this report. To view their employment equity reports, readers should visit those organizations’ websites, or contact them directly.

Reports on employment equity in the Canadian Forces and with respect to members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are prepared by those organizations and are also tabled in Parliament at the same time as those of separate employers.

To assure the consistency of data presented in this report, OCHRO uses the incumbent file, which contains information on all employees for whom the Treasury Board is the employer, in accordance with Schedules I and IV of the Financial Administration Act. Since 2011–12, the executive category includes data on the LC Group (Law Management Occupational Group) in its total workforce, which will need to be taken into consideration when comparing data historically.

All tabulations, other than those for women, contain data obtained through self-identification. This data is provided voluntarily by employees and maintained separately and confidentially in the Employment Equity Data Bank by OCHRO, and where applicable, through the self-declaration of individuals applying to the public service through the Public Service Commission of Canada’s (PSC’s) Public Service Resourcing System. A reconciliation process is carried out each year by OCHRO, the PSC and the departments of the CPA to ensure that information derived from the Public Service Resourcing System, the Employment Equity Data Bank, and incumbent file harmonizes with the information from departmental sources.

The completeness and accuracy of employment equity data for the CPA depend on the willingness of employees to self-identify and on departments providing opportunities for them to do so. Employees, including those engaged as students or casual workers, are given an opportunity to provide this information when they are hired and during departmental self-identification surveys or other campaigns. Furthermore, they may complete a self-identification form, available from their departmental employment equity coordinator, at any time.
