This is to provide further information on the implementation of the Pay Equity Agreement between the Treasury Board and PSAC.

Locating Recipients

The Canada Custom and Revenue Agency (CCRA) is in the process of searching their database and sending letters to recipients for whom an address was found. This exercise is done using the most current information on file at CCRA.

Unverifiable Cheques

As indicated in the February 15, 2001 Information Bulletin, in situations where no file is available to verify past service, a verification of the contributor system should be done. This could provide details on the length of service, leave without pay and classification.

Should no record be found on the contributor system, please contact one of the officers in my unit who will verify the incumbent system and provide you with any information that may be available.

As a last resort, recipients should be asked to contact their local Tax Services Office and asked to obtain a copy of their personal data covering the period to which they may be entitled to Pay Equity Adjustments. This information: gross salary, statutory deductions and employer number, which will need to be verified, together with a signed copy of the attached affidavit may then be used to confirm the eligible period.

Once payments have been issued, based on the personal data provided by CCRA and signed affidavit, a copy of the attached release form must be completed by the employee prior to release of cheques.

Automated Interest Payment

The automated interest payment on all pay equity payments dated November 24, 2000 or later will be produced the weekend of May 4, 2001.

Waivers

CCRA has agreed that the unused portion of the $10,000. pay equity waiver may be applied to the 2001 payments.

Employees considering the waiver of income tax deducted at source should be advised to consult with CCRA to ensure RRSP room is available.

Departmental Compensation Managers should direct any questions that they may have to their corporate Compensation officials who, if need be, can contact the Pay Administration Section.
