This week marks yet another unfortunate milestone in the history of a pay system that continues to harm hundreds of thousands of federal public service workers. From an overwhelming backlog in pay transactions to compromised opportunities for career advancement and delayed retirement plans, this pay system continues to take a heavy toll on our members.
Retired and former PSAC members: If you are a retired or former PSAC member and received your Phoenix general damages payment in 2022 or
Unions representing more than 260,000 federal public sector workers are calling on the government to negotiate ongoing damages for workers who continue to be impacted by the Phoenix pay system disaster.
In 2020, PSAC negotiated Phoenix general damages for approximately 165,000 PSAC members to compensate for the stress, aggravation and pain and suffering they endured because of the broken pay system.
We are marking yet another bleak anniversary – the seventh year of the Phoenix pay disaster.

By Chris Aylward, National President, Public Service Alliance of Canada
PSAC members who have suffered personal or financial consequences due to Phoenix, whether they are current or former employe
We are in the second year of the government’s aggressive and heavy-handed plan to recover overpayments caused by Phoenix.
Thousands of retired and former PSAC members are eligible for up to $2,500 in Phoenix general damages but may not know they can make a claim.
PSAC is working with the Minister of National Revenue to establish a process to resolve the taxation of Phoenix damages.
PSAC has filed policy grievances against Treasury Board, Parks Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for their heavy-handed mismanagement of the Phoenix overpayment process.
The rushed Phoenix overpayment recovery plan launched earlier this year by the employer is already producing major errors and misleading information. Some overpayment recovery letters sent by the Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) Pay Centre contain amounts that the employer has no legal recourse to recover as they are outside of the six-year limitation period.
In the fall of 2021, the Public Service Pay Centre launched the recovery process for Phoenix overpayments for thousands of PSAC members they believe were overpaid by the Phoenix pay system in 2016.
