Vanita Lindsay has been feverishly trying to get in touch with Ottawa to let them know she wants to give the $8,816.20 back.
Vanita Lindsay has been paid $8,816.20 for a job with the federal government, but hasn’t worked a single day for it.
“They’re going to take the money back, which is good — there’s no issues with taxes or a T4, even better, but there may be interest charged,” said Lindsay.Lindsay’s bureaucratic nightmare started about a year ago when she decided to apply for a work-from-home position at a call centre related to the Canada Pension Plan.
“The next day I emailed them to say I couldn’t do the job. I thanked them. I thought it was done,” she said.She emailed her supervisor on the file, but got no response. Lindsay started moving the money into another account, knowing the federal government would eventually come back to claim it. Finally, on Wednesday morning, Lindsay got a call from a federal representative who explained what was likely a breakdown in communications with human resources and payroll services.
