On September 6, 2023, the Government signed a settlement in the Bouchard class action for individuals who worked for the Government of Canada between February 2016 and March 2020 as a casual, student, term (less than 3 months), part-time worker working less than one-third of the normal schedule, or a Governor in Council appointee, and who experienced pay problems as a result of the Phoenix pay system.
The Government of Canada is committed to ensuring that members who worked for the government are paid properly. The settlement provides for individual payments to class members based on the number of eligible fiscal years in which they worked.
The settlement will be presented to the Quebec Superior Court for approval on February 18, 2025, at 2:00 pm. Consult the Notice to Class Members
