Sample Letter Templates - UPDATED

Below is a list of commonly used letters that relate to competitions, staffing actions and other human resources functions in the public service. These letters have been updated in order to make them more user friendly for managers.

There are fewer letters here, but the content of all the letters previously listed is still available. The letters have been revised so all pertinent information is available in letter templates with read and delete sections included. It is important that you delete all sections that are not relevant to the staffing action.

Copies of letters, resumes/applications must be forwarded to your HR Consultant, Client Services, Public Service Agency, for appropriate pay action and placement on the employee's personnel file.
