The agreement reached between public service bargaining agents, including ACFO-ACAF, and the employer on May 3 regarding damages associated with the Phoenix payroll system was officially signed on June 12, 2019.
The signing triggers the 150-day implementation period for the leave bank credits for employees who were employed between 2016-17 and 2018-19 as follows:
- For employees that were employed for at least one day in 2016-17: 2 days of leave
- For employees that were employed for at least one day in 2017-18: 1 day of leave
- For employees that were employed for at least one day in 2018-19: 1 day of leave
Those credits should be in your leave bank by November 12, 2019.
Leave credits for 2019-20 will be added to banks within 150 days of the end of the fiscal year (August 28, 2020).

Please note, this agreement is not part of the collective agreement which was announced on May 28 and ratified on June 4. We are still waiting for an official signing date for that agreement, at which point timelines for implementation will be confirmed.
