OTTAWA — Public servants have just hours left to apply for the federal government’s early retirement program.
The deadline lands at 2:59 a.m. ET and the Treasury Board website says more than 9,100 applications had been received as of Tuesday, though final numbers aren’t expected until at least next week.
The federal government launched the early retirement program as part of its plan to cut the number of public servants.
In December, the government began sending letters with information on the program to about 68,000 public servants who may be eligible.
