Thousands of city of Ottawa employees are experiencing payroll issues that resulted in some members of the force receiving less than two dollars on their expected January paycheque.
Thousands of city of Ottawa employees are experiencing payroll issues, with some workers significantly underpaid on their first pay cheques of 2023.
In a memo to council late Monday, the city's director of payroll Sharon McLaughlin said about 2,500 city employees had to have their pay manually adjusted. The remaining adjustments, about 7,700, are of $50 or less and will be reflected in the Jan. 26 pay period, she said. The issue was limited to employee deductions, she added.Ottawa Police Association President Matt Cox says they are working with the city to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Sources told CTV News the payment irregularities were caused by a technical issue and that the city does not expect it to be a recurring problem.
Earlier on Monday, McLaughlin said in a statement that the city has full confidence in its payroll system and has taken steps to rectify the issue.
