Town compensates staff for computer glitch shortfall
The Town of Battleford council approved reimbursing several staff who were underpaid in 2016 when the town changed to the Vadim computer software system.
The total amount was $14,632 for the seven employees affected.
Chief Administrative Officer John Enns-Wind said during Monday’s meeting the shortfall came to his attention in 2017, however he wanted to wait until after the audited financial statement was completed so the town’s finance director could confirm the underpayment. As a result the individuals impacted will be compensated this year.
Mayor Ames Leslie said the underpayment was essentially the last hiccup from the switch to the Vadim system.
