PSAC wishes to thank all who applied. The 2019 program will re-open in April with new guidelines and application forms.

The government’s NextGen HR and Pay Team is hosting a series of User Expos across Canada which will allow members to try out potential payroll software that could replace Phoenix. The events will take place from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm in the lobbies of the buildings listed below.

These events will provide an opportunity for many public service workers to contribute to in the selection process for the next generation of government payroll software.

For 3 years and counting, thousands of workers across the country have received overpayments because of Phoenix. But rather than limiting the burden of these Phoenix errors to calculating the overpayment and repaying it to the employer, the government has forced these workers to reimburse the gross amount of the overpayment (cpp payments, income tax deductions, etc...) – significantly more than the amount they received.

Our union has special sympathy for the plight of your members because our members who work for Canada’s federal public service have been been suffering the consequences of a botched payroll system for the past three years.  They have experienced a myriad of pay problems including missed paychecks or the wrong pay, and incorrect calculations of entitlements and benefits.  Our members know what it means to have no income; they know the hardship of economic and job insecurity.
