Are you concerned about your pay & Phoenix’s unreliable figures?

Most of us have heard, seen or know of someone who was under or over paid by $10, $25 or even $45,000 due to the Phoenix debacle. From what I have personally experienced I would not trust any figures or accounts supplied by Phoenix, even less any request for an over or under payment. I strongly recommend that you do your own homework and get a detailed and accurate review and reconciliation performed to get the facts of the situation straight for financial reasons and for your own peace of mind. I have tools to help you and can assist you in reconciling the situation.
 

Did you know that the Government of Canada is offering it’s employee a reimbursement for those who need fiscal assistance to sort out the facts and issues with their pay situation?
