The last two (2) months’ arrears of the 4% salary increment for 2021 was expected to be paid as part of salaries for December 2021.
While this has been processed for all Public Servants on the Controller and Accountant General‘s payroll, only 40% of Ghana Education Service Staff and 20% of Ghana Health Service Staff were paid the afore-mentioned arrears.
This was due to a system performance hitch that was going to unduly delay the payment of
December salaries for the entire Public Servants beyond the scheduled pay date.
In consultation with relevant stakeholders, a decision was taken to truncate the processing of arrears for the 2 Institutions. This was to enable the Controller and Accountant-General to pay the affected staff their basic salaries and allowances on the scheduled date. This decision was taken to avert the possibility of delaying the payment of the entire December salaries and its impact on the festive season.
The Controller and Accountant-General wish to assure all the affected workers that their last 2 months’ arrears resulting from the 49% salary increase will be added to their January salary in 2022.
Any inconvenience caused by this action is very much regretted.
