The government and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission managed to beat down the 20% demand to 15% effective July 1.

Workers are however yet to receive the money.

Chief Executive of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Benjamin Arthur, told JoyNews that payment will commence soon.

“We are certain that government will implement it. So nobody should have doubts. As soon as possible. Realizing the money in your pocket, we are working on the schedule, and I am sure, maybe in about two weeks to three weeks’ time, the government will come out public with the exact date.

“That has been done “modalities” and it will have to be communicated to Organised Labour.

COLA ends in December
