OTTAWA — Up to a quarter of federal government employees are still experiencing problems with their pay because of the troubled Phoenix pay system, and the government might be running out of time to collect on overpayments.
A new report from Canada's auditor general says 28 per cent of civil servants in its sampling had errors in their pay, which is down from an estimated 47 per cent last year.
Meanwhile, more than $500 million in overpayments were made to more than 100,000 employees, some dating back more than three years.
If the government doesn't collect those overpayments soon, the auditor said, it may run out of time to use some recovery mechanisms because of legal limitations.
