2014-2015

Transition Payments Expenditure incurred by the Ministers' Offices

The Government of Canada implemented salary payments in arrears in 2014–2015. As a result, a one-time payment was issued to employees and will be recovered from them in the future. The transition to salary payments in arrears forms part of the transformation initiative that replaces the pay system and also streamlines and modernizes the pay processes. This change to the pay system had no impact on the expenses of the Department. However, it did result in the use of additional spending authorities by the Department.

Transition payments for implementing salary payments in arrears for the core public service can be found in Table 3 of Volume 2.
