Section 270 of the Municipal Act requires that all municipalities and their local boards must adopt and maintain a policy for hiring employees – a Recruitment, Selection and Hiring Policy.
Example hiring policies
- Belleville Recruitment, Selection and Hiring Policy
- Greenstone Hiring Policy
- Blue Mountains Hiring of Employees Policy
- Waterloo Recruitment Policy
- Barrie Hiring at the City Policy
- London Hiring of Employees Policy
- Welland Hiring
What if my municipality does not have this policy?
If you can’t find a copy of your municipality’s policy, contact your municipal clerk and members of council politely ask where you might access it.
If does not exist, remind them that it is required under the Municipal Act.
If they do not or are not able to produce one, the next step is to submit a Freedom of Information Act request under Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) to obtain a copy of it.
