A new program introduced last month to take care of paying government workers isn't doing the job it should and employees are now short money, an Alberta union says.

The software, called 1GX, was installed in December and the Alberta Union of Public Employees says it's "causing chaos."

"I know the UCP government likes to blame the federal government for all its woes, but this time it seems to have decided to mimic the problems created by Ottawa’s Phoenix payroll system," said Susan Slade, AUPE vice-president in a statement. "It is clearly incapable of handling the complexity of a large, complex workforce with members working a vast variety of different jobs and different shifts."

The union is working with the Alberta government to resolve the problem before it becomes widespread, but says it has been around for a while.
