Federal employees have been compensated around $685 million by the government for a payment error that occurred several years ago resulting from a glitch in the Phoenix payroll software system, according to an internal briefing note.
“To date approximately $685 million has been paid in damages relating to the Phoenix Pay System,” said a briefing note prepared for Treasury Board President Mona Fortier on Nov. 21, 2022, and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
