Regulations Respecting Part-time Work in the Public Service Whereas the Public Service Commission has decided that it is not practicable nor in the best interests of the Public Service to apply the Public Service Employment Act to persons who are not ordinarily required to work more than one-third of the normal scheduled daily or weekly hours of work established for persons doing similar work; Whereas the Public Service Commission has further decided that it is not practicable nor in the best interests of the Public Service to apply the Public Service Employment Act to persons who were employed under the authority of the Part-time Employees Exclusion Approval Order, C.R.C., c. 1350 and the Part-time Employment Regulations, C.R.C., c. 1351, and who are ordinarily required to work more than one-third of the normal scheduled daily and weekly hours of work established for persons doing similar work but not more than 15 hours per week; And Whereas the Public Service Commission is of the opinion that it is desirable to make the annexed Regulations prescribing how such persons shall be dealt with. Therefore, His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Public Service Commission, is pleased hereby, effective January 1st, 1981, pursuant to section 39 of the Public Service Employment Act, to revoke the Part-time Employees Exclusion Approval Order, C.R.C., c. 1350 and to make the annexed Order approving the exclusion by the Public Service Commission of persons who are not ordinarily required to work more than one-third of the normal scheduled daily or weekly hours of work established for persons doing similar work and of certain other persons from the operation of the Public Service Employment Act in substitution therefor; and pursuant to subsection 35(1) of the Public Service Employment Act, to revoke the Part-time Employment Regulations, C.R.C., c. 1351, and to make the annexed Regulations respecting Part-time work in the Public Service in substitution therefor. These Regulations may be cited as the Public Service Part-time Regulations. In these Regulations, former part-time worker means a person employed under the authority of the Part-time Employees Exclusion Approval Order, C.R.C., c. 1350 as it read before January 1, 1981 and the Part-Time Employment Regulations, C.R.C., c. 1351 as it read before January 1, 1981, who is ordinarily required to work more than one-third of the normal scheduled daily or weekly hours of work established for persons doing similar work but not more than 15 hours per week; (ancien travailleur à temps partiel) Order means the Part-time Work Exclusion Approval Order; (Décret) part-time worker means a person who is not ordinarily required to work more than one-third of the normal scheduled daily or weekly hours of work established for persons doing similar work. (travailleur à temps partiel) These Regulations apply only in respect of persons to whom the Order applies. A deputy head may delegate any of his powers, functions or duties under these Regulations to one or more persons under his jurisdiction. Subject to section 6, where a department requires the services of a part-time worker, the deputy head shall recruit and select the persons from Canada Employment Centres or from Public Service Commission Staffing Offices; and upon selecting the person, may appoint him to the position he is to occupy. A department in which former part-time workers and part-time workers are employed may: maintain a call-back list for such period as the deputy head may establish; place on that call-back list the names of former part-time workers and part-time workers who have performed their duties satisfactorily before the termination of their services; and call back former part-time workers and part-time workers whose names are on the call-back list when positions at a level for which they are qualified become available. A former part-time worker and a part-time worker shall be granted a least one day’s notice before their services are terminated.
