Phoenix Pay System

Winnipeg Free Press Editorial on the Auditor General's Report on Phoenix

The Auditor General’s second report on Phoenix is a scathing indictment of both the current Liberal and former Conservative governments. 

Please take the PSAC - Prairie Region Phoenix Survey!

Two surveys conducted by the Canadian government and the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC), respectively, confirm that federal public service workers have suffered a number of significant hardships that should be remedied through damages.

PSAC and our members are frustrated with the government’s failure to follow through on its commitment to delay recoveries of overpayments and emergency pay until federal public service workers have had all their pay problems resolved.

Now that tax filing season is in full swing, PSAC wants to remind its members in the federal public service about some important information regarding Phoenix-related tax implications. 

PSAC, and the other unions representing federal public service workers, are negotiating damages with the government for the undue stress and hardships caused by the Phoenix pay system.

Nearly 200,000 federal public service workers have suffered, and continue to suffer financial and emotional consequences as a result of the government’s implementation of the Phoenix pay system.

Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) members will gather this morning (Wednesday, February 28, 2018) at 280 Broadway in Winnipeg to protest the failed Phoenix Pay System from 7:00am to 9:00am. They will be distributing “Phoenix First Aid” materials to members about their rights if they have been burnt by Phoenix.

The Ottawa Citizen has a multi-part series on Phoenix running this week.
