Government Implements 10% Salary Hike for Public Workers Under 2025 Pay Structure
The Government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Finance, has officially approved a 10% salary increase for all public service institutions under the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS), effective January 1, 2025.
This announcement comes after the successful conclusion of negotiations between the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and key stakeholders on the 2025 base pay.
In a directive issued and signed by Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, Minister for Finance, the Ministry highlighted that the approved increase is contained in a revised salary structure marked as Appendix A, which reflects the agreed 10% across-the-board adjustment in base salaries.

Clarification on Market Premiums
The Ministry further emphasized that in line with the government’s White Paper on market premiums, any interim premium payments to beneficiaries should continue to be calculated using the 2012 Single Spine base salary.
The enhanced 2025 base salary should not be used for calculating market premiums. This measure ensures consistency with long-standing government policy on compensation management.
Implementation in Full Swing
Public service institutions, especially those covered by the SSSS, have been directed to implement the adjustments promptly. The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department has been instructed to implement the new salary structure without delay.
This move signals the government’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of public workers, even as the country navigates economic challenges. The decision is also expected to impact the morale and productivity of over half a million public sector employees.
Conclusion
With the adjustment now in effect, all relevant institutions are urged to align with the directive and ensure compliance. The Finance Ministry’s communication marks a significant step toward maintaining equity and transparency in public sector remuneration.
