Public service employees on the Single Spine Salary Structure can expect a 12.5% increase in their salaries effective January 2017, following an announcement by government.

The announcement comes barely three months to the general elections.

[contextly_sidebar id=”2yoVOXH2qd2YgfgUVUCl70YRyagtiNaZ”]A communique sighted by Citi News indicated that, this increase was the culmination of some negotiations as part of the processes for the implementation the Single Spine Pay Policy (SSPP).

The negations for this increment involved government and organised labor.

The negotiations involved the Public Services Joint Standing Negotiating Committee (PSJSNC), which comprised of government, the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, the Finance Ministry and the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations.

The PSJSNC has been negotiating the Base Pay and Pay Point Relativities of the Single Spine Salary Structure since 2010.

The establishment of the PSJSNC was to resolve the issue of multiple rounds of negotiations by various services and associations which existed in previous pay regimes.

The last increment in salaries for public sector workers saw a 10 percent increase in basic salary in October 2015.

Increase in minimum daily wage

Government also recently increased the daily minimum wage by 10 percent, and this will take effect from January 2017.

But noting that the minimum wage was not a living wage, government said it could not support any increase beyond the 10 percent.

The 10 percent increase saw the previous daily minimum wage of GHc 8.00 increase to GHc 8.8.
