Staffing processes

Ensure candidates and employees can participate in a staffing process in the OL of their choice. This includes ensuring all communications (exams, interviews, invitations, informal discussions, etc.) are in the candidates’ OL of choice and board members have the appropriate language proficiency to evaluate candidates in their OL of choice. Plan your workforce to ensure there is a sufficient composition of unilingual positions and bilingual positions in order to meet OL obligations for services to employees or services to the public. For bilingual positions, objectively identify the language skill level needed based on the duties and functions of the positions. Make use of non-imperative staffing in accordance with the departmental guidelines.
