        History

        The Public Service Board was established under the Public Service Act, 1895 to replace the Civil Service Board (1885-1895). The functions of the Board were to carry out inspections of departments, grade officers and classify work, hear appeals against decisions made, conduct inquiries and investigations, arrange for examinations for officers to be conducted, keep minutes of meetings and furnish annual reports.

        In September 1988 the Board's activities were altered as a result of Government restructure of the Public Service and a number of functions and programs transferred to the Department of Administrative Services. Under the Public Sector Management Act, 1988 the Board was abolished, with devolvement of its functions to department heads. Responsibility for industrial relations was placed with the new Public Employment Industrial Relations Authority.
