Ottawa to launch pay ‘experiments’ as next step to replace Phoenix system GlobePolitics
The minister responsible for replacing the federal government’s disastrous civil-service pay system says Phoenix will likely be running for several years while a series of pay “experiments” are tested alongside it.
For several months, the government has been working with pay-system suppliers to see which one could replace Phoenix, which has improperly paid more than half of all federal workers by depositing too much money in their bank accounts, shortchanging them or in some cases not paying them at all for long periods.Murray is expected to outline how the government plans to move to the next phase in developing a new system.
The previous Conservative government projected the Phoenix system would save taxpayers $70-million annually, but the cost of stabilizing it – and searching for a replacement system – is now estimated to have surpassed $1.1-billion.
