Three pays in March – Impact on your Pay Deductions

February 28, 2023 - Defence Stories

Normally, when there are two pay periods in a month, 50% of certain deductions are taken in each pay period, such as union dues, death benefit, Disability Insurance and the Public Service Health Care Plan, if applicable.

Since March 2023 is a month with three pay days, these deductions will be taken from the second and third payments of the month, resulting in a higher net pay for the March 1 pay day.
