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.
