Public Service Pay Centre dashboard as of August 31, 2022

The number of financial transactions beyond the normal workload increased by 21,000 from July 20 to August 31, 2022.

Although intake varies month over month, the number of transactions received at the Pay Centre has steadily increased since 2021. This increase, along with the high complexity of outstanding transactions that remain, have limited our ability to reduce the overall number of outstanding transactions.

We continue to focus on addressing outstanding transactions while also working towards processing new transactions within service standards 95% of the time.

There are currently approximately 390,000 transactions ready to be processed for Pay Centre client departments and agencies, including:

• 195,000 transactions with financial impact, which include:
  • 175,000 beyond Pay Centre’s normal workload, and
  • 20,000 repatriated to home departments and agencies for processing and closure
• 80,000 financial transactions that are part of Pay Centre’s normal workload
• 61,000 transactions with no financial impact, or general inquiries
• 5,000 collective agreement transactions
• 49,000 transactions waiting to be closed for which employees have already received payment

A total of 84% of non-collective bargaining transactions that were finalized between July 20 and August 31 met service standards. The Pay Centre met service standards 80% of the time on average in 2021, compared to 72% on average in 2020.
