Faulty payroll software affecting thousands at Calgary Board of Education
Thousands of employees with the Calgary Board of Education are said to be experiencing problems associated with faulty payroll software. Board spokesman Ted Flitton says the software causing the problems is called PeopleSoft and has affected about 4,000 people since it was installed in February.
He says in some cases it has delayed paycheques or benefit payments. |
Interesting story for me when you consider that I work for a company that designs, writes, implements and supports Payroll and HRMS solutions. There are some pretty interesting comments at the bottom of the article.
I feel badly for the people that are getting crushed by this, I expect that heads are going to roll at PeopleSoft due to this hitting the press, and even more are going to roll at the CBE for picking it.
