Is there a central policy on the hiring of casual workers?
No. There is no central Treasury Board policy on the hiring of casual workers. Casual employment is a resourcing option provided to deputy heads under the authority of the Financial Administration Act (FAA). Section 50 of the PSEA gives the appointment authority and exempts casual appointments from all of the other provisions of the PSEA. Each department may decide if a departmental policy on casual employment is needed. The TB Terms and Conditions of Employment policy instruments, as well as the Values and Ethics Code for the Public Service are also applicable to casual workers.
