A technical issue impacted the pay of thousands of City of Ottawa employees and members of the Ottawa Police Service (OPS).
In a memo to Ottawa city council, Sharon McLaughlin, the City's director of payroll, pensions, and benefits said roughly 2,500 City employees had their pay manually adjusted for the pay cycle of Jan. 12, 2023.
“These actions prevented overpayment and underpayment situations from occurring and ensured that these employees received complete and accurate pay on January 12,” said McLaughlin in the memo.
She said all outstanding pay adjustments, approximately 7,700, are of $50 or less and will be reflected in the second pay period of the year in the normal pay cycle, ending on Jan. 26, adding the issue was limited to employee deductions.
