The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat distributed nearly 4.3 million compensation hours to workers affected by the problematic Phoenix pay system, according to data obtained by CBC news.
The government's work to replace the broken Phoenix pay system is underway, as the Canadian company Ceridian was selected in September 2021 to work on a replacement.
Budget 2023 includes $52 million for Shared Services Canada to work on that replacement for Phoenix, and for TBS to deal with human resources and pay matters."Marriages have collapsed, people have lost homes, not getting the proper pay is a huge burden," said Camille Awada, the president of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees .
CAPE has over 24,000 members across Canada and is Canada's third largest federal public service union. Its members include economists, policy advisors, translators, terminologists and statisticians.0:53 Camille Awada, president of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees, says every public servant affected by the Phoenix pay system issues needs proper compensation.Despite the 4.3 million hours distributed, Awada believes that it doesn't make up for the hardships endured by union members."I think people were basically relieved that the government had noticed the need for some sort of compensation for the issues that they had to face.
"I think it's the bare minimum," he said. "The treasury board needs to step up and make sure that every public servant continues to compensated properly."Sam Konnert is a reporter with CBC News in Ottawa. He can be reached at [email protected] or @SamKonnert.
