In the fall of 2021, the Public Service Pay Centre launched the recovery process for Phoenix overpayments for thousands of PSAC members they believe were overpaid by the Phoenix pay system in 2016. Because of the six-year limitation period for the government to begin recovering these overpayments, the employer is rushing to send overpayment recovery letters to many PSAC members now.
Members receiving overpayment letters must respond promptly, as they are given four weeks to do so. If they do not respond within that timeframe, the Pay Centre will begin the overpayment recovery immediately by default.
