To what Organizations does the new PSEA apply?
Generally-speaking, the new PSEA applies only to departments and agencies for whom the Treasury Board is the employer that is, the departments listed in Schedule I of the FAA and the agencies listed in Schedule IV. Since there are a few exceptions to the rule, you should check with your employer or your union representative to determine whether or not the Act applies in your case. The staffing provisions of the new Public Service Employment Act, including those regarding the Public Service Staffing Tribunal, do not apply to separate agencies named in Schedule V of the Financial Administration Act (FAA), such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
