After months of waiting, retired and former PSAC members finally have access to Phoenix general damages.
Any former member, legal representative of a former member or estate of a deceased member who worked for the federal public service between 2016 and 2020, and is eligible, can now claim the maximum lump sum of $2,500. This includes compensation for the late implementation of collective agreements during those years due to the Phoenix pay system. Entitlement to compensation is as follows:
2016–17 | $1,000 |
2017–18 | $500 |
2018–19 | $500 |
2019–20 | $500 |
These damages were negotiated in October 2020 by PSAC under the Phoenix pay system damages agreement.
