Talking point: The federal government has been working for years to replace IBM’s decade-old Phoenix pay system, which underpaid, overpaid or simply didn’t pay public servants so often that it caused a multibillion-dollar debacle. Ottawa has been testing Dayforce, headquartered in Toronto and Minneapolis, as a possible alternative since 2021. The new system will eventually have to accommodate about 150 different collective agreements across more than 100 government departments and agencies. The current system handled 13.4 million payments in 2024, with a total value of $40.1 billion. The procurement department didn’t immediately respond to questions about how much the new Dayforce system will cost.
