Bingo!

It's never just the 82 weeks that you need to pay in these cases. Some will also inevitably be challenged and result in a far larger $$$ bill at the end than just simply letting said persons time out, get sick, pass away, find a better vessel to parasite themselves to, etc.

I worked with a guy like this in the private sector. He was enough of a menace that they are basically paying him to stay home now. I have more work now in theory but my job has actually become easier now that he isn't touching anything and $#%#jng it up .

Pareto Principle is a real thing....

Good point... this isn't just a public sector thing.

So, there are currently 64 Assistant or Associate Deputy Ministers without a job. They stay home and get paid rather than be retired or reassigned.

They are all Ex-03 or 04 with an average salary range of 220K and 250K.

Maybe start cutting there......

Send their jobs to Churchill. That will boost the town's economy....

Well, if it was part of the office culture then...

Service Canada clerk fired for snooping reinstated as board cites office culture​

A Service Canada employee fired for repeatedly accessing confidential Employment Insurance records has been reinstated after a federal labour board found such snooping was common in the office.

The Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board ruled that the firing of the Richmond Hill, Ontario clerk was too harsh, noting she had accessed files 107 times over 16 years — mostly involving family members — without personal financial gain or any losses to the employer.

Blacklock's Reporter says the board replaced the dismissal with a 30-day suspension without pay.

“She explained that was the office culture,” wrote adjudicator Caroline Engmann. “She and colleagues copied each others’ answers and did not pay close attention to the training material.”

The 39-year employee came under investigation after a colleague reported that she was reviewing EI files without clear work-related reasons. Under Service Canada’s Code of Conduct, employees are prohibited from looking up information that is not necessary for their duties, including checking a family member’s benefits or searching for a friend’s phone number.

Engmann noted the woman believed she was being helpful.

“In some quirky way, she believed she was being efficient because it only took two to three minutes to check the information,” she wrote. The board concluded that while the clerk gave preferential treatment to relatives, “there was no fraudulent activity” and all the transactions were legitimate.
