The Liberal government has shamelessly chosen the 5th anniversary of the Phoenix pay system disaster to short-change thousands of PSAC members on their compensation for years of pay problems.
Even though PSAC is in the process of working with CRA to review the taxability of Phoenix damages, the federal government has confirmed that it intends to ignore these efforts and issue the up to $2,500 for our members, on March 3 – with taxes deducted. Treasury board provided no explanation for their actions.
PSAC members deserve full compensation for almost 5 years of Phoenix pay problems.
Call your Member of Parliament and tell them that Phoenix general damages shouldn’t be taxed.
