GC HR and Pay - Data Standards

Transforming human resources (HR) and pay for the Government of Canada into an integrated, flexible, and modern ecosystem is a complex challenge. To support these activities, the Human Capital Management (HCM) within Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) is working to update processes, standards, and rules to govern HR and Pay data.

HR and Pay Data Standards will support trustworthy, high-quality data to easily move throughout the enterprise, as needed, enabling improved insights, decision-making, and more streamlined business processes. These Data Standards will focus on core employee data attributes within the Single Employee Profile (SEP), such as: first and last names, date of birth, first official language, preferred language, home address, mailing address, province of residence, marital status, personal contact information (email, phone), security clearance, PRI, sex at birth, and other important HR and Pay data.

These data standards are required above and beyond the GC enterprise data reference standards for the HR and Pay data domain. Progress in implementing these data standards is done through the Unified Actions for Pay (UAP) Measure 2.
