Public Service Commission. Checking references is one of the most useful sources of information about a candidate's past performance or accomplishments. Although the reference check may sometimes be the only source of information on a given qualification, it is most often used to corroborate, clarify, or add to information that has already been gathered. This guide provides practical information which will help you to get the most out of the reference check. Reference checks are used for two purposes. The first is the evaluation of the reliability/security qualification. The second is the evaluation of other abilities, skills, personal suitability, or other qualifications. Sometimes the same reference check will be used for both purposes. The evaluation of the reliability/security qualification is done according to Treasury Board policy. This guide will focus on using the reference check to assess abilities, skills, personal suitability and other qualifications. 1, record 5, English, - Checking%20references%3A%20a%20window%20into%20the%20past

Commission de la fonction publique. La vérification des références est l'une des sources d'information les plus utiles sur les réalisations ou le rendement antérieur d'un candidat. Même si elle peut parfois être la seule source d'information sur une qualité donnée, elle sert le plus souvent à corroborer, à préciser et à compléter l'information déjà recueillie. Le présent guide fournit des renseignements pratiques permettant de tirer le maximum de la vérification des références. On distingue deux fins pour lesquelles sont utilisées les vérifications des références. La première est l'évaluation de la fiabilité/sécurité. La seconde est l'évaluation des capacités, compétences, qualités personnelles ou autres qualités. La même vérification des références servira souvent à ces deux fins. L'évaluation de la fiabilité/sécurité se fait conformément à la politique du Conseil du Trésor. Dans le présent guide, l'accent sera mis sur l'utilisation de la vérification des références pour évaluer les capacités, les compétences, les qualités personnelles et les autres qualités. 1, record 5, French, - La%20v%C3%A9rification%20des%20r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rences%20%3A%20Regard%20sur%20le%20pass%C3%A9

You must make this request to a CGC service centre within 30 days of the date the certificate is issued. The Regional Inspector reviews the results of the moisture test. This involves verifying the accuracy of the test by checking equipment readings recorded when the sample was tested. It could also include checking if the moisture metre has been properly calibrated. Information from this review is then sent to the Chief Grain Inspector's office for final review. The Chief Grain Inspector's decision is final and binding upon both of you.
