The CAGD in a statement issued on December 22, 2021, said 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.
Percentage Payment to GES, GHS Staff
According to CAGD, 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.
Why 4% Was not paid
The statement said CAGD inability to pay the 4% was 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.
Stakeholder Consultations
According to CAGD, 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.” It said.
”This decision was taken to avert the possibility of delaying the payment of the entire December salaries and its impact on the festive season.”
