The employer has 150 days after the signing date to pay the bonus. PSAC expects the Phoenix Treasury Board to pay general damages (i.e. the $2,500 package) within the 180-day transposition period mentioned above for the collective agreement. In addition, information on how current and former members who have suffered heavy losses from the Phoenix payroll system can claim additional compensation will be provided by the Treasury Board in the coming months.
We will continue to urge the government to implement these regulations effectively. The increases in allowances are not retroactive.

Bargaining partners: UNIFOR Collective Agreement: 30 June 2022 Dispute Resolution Mechanism: Conciliation The new collective agreement is retroactive to 20 June 2014, from 20 June 2018. This means that you are entitled to a refund for the period during which you worked and a member of the AP as of June 20, 2014. The formal signing of the agreements now means that new contractual conditions come into force, with the exception of retroactive monetary provisions. The Ministry of Finance now has 180 days to implement wage increases, wage adjustments and allowances.
As explained in the contract ratification kits, PSAC negotiated a lump sum payment of $500 for members of these new contracts, given this expanded implementation schedule, which is normally 90 days. PSAC is currently preparing ratification kits for PA membership. These kits explain the negotiated changes and why our PA negotiating team recommends that members accept this interim agreement. Information sessions are held across the country so that PA members can hear and ask questions from a member of the negotiating team before voting on the interim agreement.
