The Merit Commissioner ensures the processes used to dismiss employees are consistent with required practices, policies, and standards. By conducting these reviews, the Merit Commissioner can identify issues and provide recommendations.
The Merit Commissioner reports the overall findings of these reviews to the Legislature and publishes them on the website. Where necessary, the Merit Commissioner provides recommendations to improve processes related to just cause dismissals.
In April 2018, the BC government modified the Public Service Act. They gave the Merit Commissioner the responsibility to review the processes used in just cause dismissals. The Merit Commissioner’s oversight applies to BC Public Service organizations and agencies.
