Welcome to the Public Service Labour Relations Board (PSLRB) website.

The PSLRB is an independent quasi-judicial statutory tribunal that is responsible for administering the collective bargaining and grievance adjudication systems in the federal public service and in Parliament. As well, under section 396 of the Budget Implementation Act, 2009, the PSLRB is also responsible for dealing with pay equity complaints filed by, or on behalf of, groups of employees pursuant to the Canadian Human Rights Act.

We provide three main types of service:
  • adjudication – hearing and deciding grievances, complaints and other labour relations matters;
  • mediation – helping parties reach collective agreements, manage their relations under collective agreements, and resolve disputes without resorting to a hearing; and
  • compensation analysis and research – compiling, analyzing and disseminating information on employee compensation to support the collective bargaining and compensation determination processes in the federal public service.

Our commitment to resolving labour relations issues in an impartial manner contributes to a productive and efficient workplace that ultimately benefits Canadians from coast to coast through the smooth delivery of government programs and services.
