What types of corrective action can the PSC impose?
The Act provides that if an allegation against a federal public service employee is substantiated, the Commission may take appropriate corrective action up to and including dismissal. Corrective action is aimed at ensuring that employees’ ability to perform their duties in a politically impartial manner is not impaired or perceived to be impaired. Possible corrective action could include ordering an employee to stop the inappropriate activity, requiring that the employee be assigned to another position with less visibility, etc. If an allegation of improper political activity by a deputy head is substantiated, the Commission must report its conclusion to the Governor in Council, who may dismiss the deputy head.
