Section: ACCOUNTING AND REMITTANCE
Subsection: CANADA SAVINGS BONDS (CSB) REMITTANCE

  OUTLINE
    Discussion with regards to Canada Savings Bonds are currently underway to address the impact of the changes to the transfer of responsibility from PWGSC to the Bank of Canada. Therefore, desktop procedures will be developed concurrently with these changes.
    Canada Savings Bonds (CSB) may be purchased by employees through payroll deductions. Deductions are updated to the Master Employee Record (MER) on receipt of subscription forms that are completed by subscribers during the annual bond campaign. Deductions appropriate to the subscribed denominations and payment plan are taken from each regular pay except from pay period plus pay runs. The deducted amounts are recorded and summarized on the 788/CS remittance listing produced at month-end. The pay office does not collect deficiencies or issues refunds as a consequence of the pay actions created in the pay system. Instead the PWGSC-TPSGC 565 form is forwarded to the CSB unit for appropriate action. Cash payments and refunds are processed ONLY by the CSB unit. Canada Savings Bond deductions are remitted to the CSB Section on a monthly basis throughout the bond year. Each month, a deduction tape is created as a result of the month-end process and is released by the Systems Control Unit to the CSB Section.
    QUARTERLY REPORTS: On a quarterly basis (April, July and September), a special report, in addition to the monthly remittance, is produced. This report includes the department, paylist, SIN number, name and initials as well as the denomination that has been purchased. A tape file associated with this report is also produced and released by Systems Control. There is no remittance required. A copy of the report is retained in PAO until the next bond year starts.
PROCEDURE
  UPON RECEIPT OF THE MONTHLY LISTINGS FOR CSBs, the following procedures are to take place:
 
1. With each listing produced from each pay office, COMPLETE the attached worksheet.

NOTE : One copy of the list is received for mailing and microfiche is available for historical/information purposes.
2. PREPARE remittance for Canada Savings Bonds, by completing the worksheets for each pay office. RECORD the total that appears on each current listing on the worksheet for that pay office. From the Common Departmental Financial System (CDFS), PULL-OFF a report to ensure amounts posted to CDFS from the Regional Pay System (RPS) are in balance. The selection criteria for the report is as follows:
 
- pay office;
- allotment 450;

3. REPEAT the above step until all offices have been done on the worksheet.
4. ENTER on CDFS through Accounts Payable screen and CREATE an Interdepartmental Settlement (IS) 060 payment for CSB. ENTER grand total of remittance from worksheet as the grand total of the IS 060.
