Socialized PAYROLL is as bad as Socialized MEDICINE!
Easy fix - have Justin Trudeau dress up as a paymaster, eyeshade and sleeves covers. He’s good at costumes.
It seems like we are not getting a clear picture of the 2 sides of the story, IMHO. It sounds like she takes a lot of time off for illness, some paid and some unpaid. It sounds like, when she has been overpaid, she has not done anything to set aside money for leveling out her income. It sounds like she is expecting to get $1,500 per week for 4 days of work per week? But she spends so much time having anxiety and trying to figure out her pay, that she barely works at all?
I am not sure I agree with her attitude that she is “serving her country”, when I think about our boys’ enlistments in the Marine Corps.
Just my 2 cents...
“Fine,” she thought, “just get it all sorted.” She took the $4,000 and went to Disney World.
Much of her problem, she says, is because she takes so much unpaid leave, which the system has a problem with.
She is likely unemployable by a private company.
The article is a completely one-sided “woe is me” tear jerker.
Most of her problems seem to be self-inflicted.
OK - I read it and I have only question. What in the devil is Phoenix besides a city in Arizona, USA??
I just skimmed the article. But it seems she was in and out enough to screw up even the best run pay systems.
I had a hard time following her woes.
If you mess with the system enough, you are going to have a nightmare paycheck. Perhaps if she showed up every day for eight weeks without doing something out of the norm.
I guarantee if she did that, she would probably still have to bum dog food off her sister.
1. Quit and go to work for an employer that pays their employees.
2. Sue your previous employer for back pay plus penalties and interest.
3. Never vote Communist, ever again.
Never rely on the federal government for your money. If they decide not to pay, you can’t go over their head.
She can’t work because she is anxious??
Pretty-face trudeau using the money to buy off the new immigrants? The army is not his top priority, as with all self-loathing wimpy-face socialists.

Absolutely DEAD ON.
When I read a headline “serve her country” I expect a soldier, not a petty, self-absorbed, rather lazy bureaucrat.
Read a lot of the replies and they seem unsympathetic. I do agree she has some issues, but no company should be allowed to continually screw up a person’s paycheck.
That’s Business 101. Simply no excuses. If a private business did this, there would be hell to pay.
Well, it sounds like she contributes to the mess. If she would show up for a full week’s work, she’d get a full week’s pay. But she plays the crazy card to take time off when she wants.
She can’t pay for medicine but can afford a trip to Disney World. She admits she goofs off 2 to 10 hours a week while on the clock.
What would a private company do? Fire her, probably.
Phoenix is the new Gov’t of Canada federal employees pay system. As is typical of massive IT megaprojects, it was projected to save money, be more efficient etc.... and has turned into a complete disaster.
It was supposed to cost around 300 million in total. The current estimated cost to fix is 5 billion.
It has created massive problems, both in pay errors and tax errors.
For example, in my case, I retired at the end of 2016 and my pension started then. But I was paid as a regular employee for the first 5 months of 2017. They want to recover the 5 month overpayment, but they can’t calculate the correct amount.
I had to pay $25K in additional taxes in error for tax year 2016 because Phoenix understated taxes deducted for 2014-2016. I got most of my money back when Phoenix issued a “revised” statement of income and taxes deducted - but only because Phoenix understated my total income by $60K. (It also had me living in Quebec, which I never did).
Phoenix has also added $40K in error to my 2014 income. My accountant says I will be reassessed on that, but it hasn’t happened yet.
The backlog to get reassessed by Canada Revenue Agency is 2 years. However, there is no point in starting until I have an accurate statement of income and taxes deducted for 2014-2016.
I am waiting to see what joys the 2017 tax year will bring. No tax statements have been issued yet, so there must b problems with those calculations as well.
Phoenix is creating 250,000 pay errors per month, so that’s 6 million pay errors since April 2016 to be corrected.
I don’t think this thing will ever be fixed.
In case people have not got the word on massive, complex, overreaching, stupid government - this should be the lesson, but they don’t take it.
Why would any Canadian trust a gov’t to change the climate of the earth, when it can’t even pay it’s own employees correctly ?
She ought to have taken the $4,000 and put it into a contingency fund that she could draw on when the system screwed her over.
It's been done, ask America's Revolutionary soldiers.
Atta girl, Dream big.
