The government has been experimenting with a \u0027next generation\u0027 pay system which has been engaged in a number of departments

A spokesperson said the company has been doing concurrent pay runs for nearly two years and achieved 100-per-cent compliance, with 58,000 data records validated covering nearly 2,400 employees. The company’s Dayforce product is said to cost about 30 per cent of what it takes to run Phoenix.

Alex Benay, the federal government’s former chief information officer, has been lured back from the private sector, with a mandate to stabilize the backlog and then replace Phoenix with a new system. Nobody, including this minister, appears to want to become too closely identified with this career-killing file. Part of the reason for the rising backlog, which had at one point fallen to 94,000, is that the government can’t stop itself from hiring public servants, which inevitably causes more pay problems, requiring yet more bureaucrats to try to fix the mess.
