MPs on the government operations and estimates committee will hold an emergency meeting to further study the persistent pay problems. They will not be able to resolve pay problems, but will rather pass cases on to compensation advisers in Miramichi, N.B. "I want to remind public servants that they need to keep reporting the pay problems as soon as possible so we can quickly respond." More than 80,000 public servants have some form of pay problem after the rollout of the beleaguered Phoenix system earlier this year. Senior bureaucrats revealed Thursday that hundreds more federal public servants have come forward to report they haven't been paid at all — the latest in the Phoenix payroll system controversy.
