Replacing Phoenix pay system is cheaper than cost of stabilizing it, PBO report says GlobePolitics
Much, however, depends on the complexity of the new system and any add-ons the government orders to take into account anything beyond the tens of thousands of rules currently used in calculating pay for federal employees, the PBO said.“Pay-system software must be able to apply all relevant pay rules to calculate the pay of each employee,” the PBO said in a summary of its report. “The greater number of rules, the greater the difficulty in configuring or customizing a pay system.
Included in the PBO’s estimate for replacing Phoenix are costs for procurement, testing and training – considered one-time expenditures. There could be other added expenses as well, such as the cost of in-house compensation advisers, which departments might choose to retain, and the settlement of lawsuits or complaints launched as a result of the Phoenix problems.In 2018 the Trudeau government earmarked $16-million over two years to begin searching out a replacement for Phoenix. But there was no new money set aside in the latest budget for a new system.
