Role of HR

Human resource management in the Yukon Government is provided by the Public Service Commisssion (PSC), Human Resource units in each of the line departments, and the Human Resource Management Advisory Committee (HRMAC).

The Public Service Commission establishes and maintains corporate human resource legislation, policies, strategies, and programs.

Departmental HR units manage the delivery of HR programs for the managers and staff in their departments, and develop department specific processes, programs and strategies.

The third entity, HRMAC, is made up of departmental HR managers/directors and the directors of the PSC. HRMAC is a sub-committee of the Deputy Ministers' Review Committee (DMRC). The committee reports to the Deputy's Committee on Human Resources (DM-HR) and works in partnership with PSC to provide input to, analysis of, and recommendations on corporate human resource strategies, policies, standards, procedures and guidelines within the Yukon government, and undertakes human resource management projects and related tasks as requested by DM-HR.

So, where do you go if you have questions about employment matters? Your departmental HR branch is your primary contact and will answer your questions about such things as:

• your pay,
• your leave credits and entitlements,
• any allowances or premiums that you may be entitled to,
• the process for participating in training courses,
• the grievance process,
• the collective agreement or human resource policies,
• the conditions which apply to your employment category (term, permanent, auxiliary, casual, etc.),
• your job description and classification,
• the classification appeal process,
• staffing,
• internal training and development opportunities,
• employee relations issues, and
• accommodation and reintegration.

There are some processes which require that you contact the PSC directly; these are:

• pension issues,
• group insurance benefit problem resolution,
• deferred salary leave, and
• relocation and removal.

Whenever in doubt about who to call, check with your departmental HR unit first - most of the time they are the people who can help you.
