Ottawa Now - Feds mulling over potential replacement of troubled Phoenix pay system

March 24, 2026

10 years after it was infamously launched by the Trudeau regime, the federal government is working to replace the troubled Phoenix pay system with a new payroll software. It's called Dayforce, and making the switch within the next several years isn't likely. However, a new report from Canada’s Auditor General has attached a stern warning to this future switchover. If the transition doesn't happen fast enough, it could add to rising costs. At the same time, if the old backlog isn't resolved first, payday errors could rear their ugly heads. Joining Kristy Cameron on today's Ottawa Now are Sean O'Reilly, the President of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, and Nathan Prier, the President of the Canadian Association of Professional Employees.
