Stéphane Legault recently finished a contract position with the Canada Revenue Agency. He won’t be looking for another position with the federal government any time soon.
As long as the Phoenix pay system is in place, it’s just not worth it, says the Gatineau resident. He estimates he is owed about $5,650 in vacation payout, severance and bilingual bonuses.
“If I work somewhere, I want to get paid,” Legault says with unassailable logic. “Not more, not less.”
Legault’s last day of work processing income tax forms was Nov. 17, 2017. It’s a job he’d done for six years, working under two different contracts.
After the first contract ended in 2013, he had no problem collecting vacation pay and other money that was owed to him. In fact, Legault says he’d never had any problems with his pay cheque.
Then Phoenix arrived, the centralized, automated pay system that was supposed to be more efficient. “I figured this will be great, it might save some time, but the opposite is happening.”
Legault says he has filed complaints online and has phoned the compensation office in an attempt to get the pay he is owed. During his last conversation in December, after being put on hold for 25 minutes, an official told Legault to expect his vacation pay before the end of January; the severance would take four months to process. He’s still waiting.
“I’m not starving or anything, but they owe me,” he says. “I’m just eager to get it. I’m just shocked that it would take so long.”
Legault says he blames the Liberal government for throwing good money after bad on the Phoenix project, which was begun when the federal Conservatives were in power. “They are trying to fix something that will never work.”
