The plagued Phoenix payroll system is being targeted by two official House of Commons petitions — one that calls for a change in how compensation errors are managed while the other one demands the pay system be abolished altogether. Two petitions about the troubled Phoenix pay system, which has caused tens of thousands of federal public servants to be improperly paid over the last 18 months, are now gathering signatures. She's also asking for these compensation officers to be able to access and fix Phoenix data and for people with issues to get clear, written updates on their status. Bagnell said he's glad the government has dedicated extra money and people to fix these pay problems. It calls for the pay system to be abolished and replaced with a system that has been proven to work, to fix all pay problems and "to stop wasting" taxpayers' money.
