Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP)

Privacy impact assessment summary

Human Resources Management System (HRMS)

HRMS is a national system that provides direct access to Human Resource (HR) information. It allows HR professionals to administer HR functions electronically by capturing a wide range of employee information including career plans, certifications, dependants, discipline, education, employment equity, grievances, health and safety and accident reporting, language skills, leave and leave entitlements, skills, tests and training courses.

HRMS also allows employees to electronically access and update their personal information including addresses, marital status, phone numbers, the ability to self-identify and view leave.

The purpose of the PIA is to identify any privacy issues or risks associated with the Correctional Service Canada HRMS and to provide recommendations on how to mitigate any identified privacy issues/risks.

The assessment demonstrates that appropriate procedures and processes will ensure compliance with the Access to Information and Privacy Acts.

Privacy risks have been identified as part of the assessment and are being addressed.
