This year, the Office of the Assembly (OA) turns 50. To help mark this milestone, we’re sharing a series of articles to provide a glimpse inside OA offices and divisions. The next in our series looks at the Administrative Services Division.
Administrative Services was created in 1977—three years after the OA was established. At that time, the division consisted of four branches:
- Finance Office
- Personnel Office
- Hansard
- Legislative Library
The division has changed since its beginning. Hansard and the Legislative Library still belong to the OA but are parts of other divisions. Financial Services replaced the Finance Office and there is no longer a Personnel Office, with personnel looked after by Human Resources.
In addition to Financial Services and Human Resources, Administrative Services now includes Business Continuity and Purchasing and Operations.
Some duties of the division include:
- estimates preparation
- payment processing
- financial reporting
- employee relations
- payroll
- health services
- procurement
- asset management
The division supports MPPs, MPP staff, caucuses, Assembly staff, and parliamentary officers.
