Retirement Recognition

Retirement Recognition is a formal recognition of employees who leave the Public Service after at least ten (10) years of service.

How can I order a retirement certificate?

Manager approval is required to order retirement certificates. Please ask your manager to send an email to your Branch/Regional Recognition Coordinator to process the order.
How does the process work for retirement recognition?

All employees who retire from the Public Service with more than ten (10) years of service receive a framed retirement certificate signed by the Prime Minister. Each branch/regional Recognition coordinator will order the framed retirement certificates from the Seasons company.

Requests for Retirement recognition must be actioned within twelve (12) months of the milestone date.
Can we have a party for an employee's retirement?

The Recognition Policy does not allow for other expenses related to retirement celebrations. Such celebrations are considered events. Refer to the Directive on Travel, Hospitality, Conference and Event Expenditures or contact your Branch/Region's financial advisor for more information.
