[0] 25 [Documentation Required] Letter of offer, authorized by sub-delegated official and accepted by appointee [Decision Point] Appointment [Source of Requirement] 
Selection and Appointment Policy Deputy heads must ensure that: the offer of appointment is extended by someone delegated to do so on behalf of the organization; offers of appointment are in writing and clearly set out all the conditions of the appointment; and appointments take effect only after all conditions of the appointment are satisfied. When using electronic authorization for offers of appointment, Deputy Heads must implement controls similar to those that are in place for financial transactions. The information, whether in paper or electronic format, must be readily accessible for audit or other purposes. Please note that there are some documents for which electronic authorization is not appropriate; specifically, the Affirmation of Aboriginal Affiliation Form and the oath or solemn affirmation. Deputy heads must respect the Public Service Employment Act, which stipulates that: a person being appointed from outside that part of the public service to which the Commission has exclusive authority to make appointments takes and subscribes the oath or solemn affirmation as set out in section 54 of the PSEA before the appointment takes effect; where the oath or solemn affirmation is required, the effective date of the appointment is the later of the date that is agreed to in writing by the deputy head and that person, and the date on which that person takes and subscribes the oath or solemn affirmation; when a person is being appointed from within that part of the public service to which the Commission has exclusive authority to make appointments, the effective date of the appointment is the date agreed to in writing by the person to be appointed and the deputy head, regardless of the date of their agreement; and a period of employment is indeterminate, unless a term of employment has been specified by the deputy head, e.g., term, casual or student employment or an acting appointment. Deputy heads must respect the PSC policy on Official Languages in the Appointment Process, which requires all communication to persons, including offers of appointment and the administration of the oath or solemn affirmation, be in the official language(s) of choice of the person. Deputy heads must respect the Treasury Board/Public Service Commission Policy on the Duty to Accommodate Persons with Disabilities in the Federal Public Service, which requires the provision of accessible formats, upon request, for communicating with persons with disabilities when making an offer of appointment or administering the oath or solemn affirmation. Public Service Employment Act, s. 60 The rate of pay on appointment to a position shall be determined by the employer within the scale of rates of pay for that position or for positions of the same occupational nature and level as that position. Public Service Employment Act, s. 61(1) A person appointed from outside the public service is on probation for a period (a) established by regulations of the Treasury Board in respect of the class of employees of which that person is an member, in the case of an organization named in Schedule I or IV to the Financial Administration Act; or (b) determined by a separate agency in respect of the class of employees of which that person is a member, in the case of an organization that is a separate agency to which the Commission has exclusive authority to make appointments.
