A comprehensive work plan for cleaning the payroll data on the mechanized payroll has been developed, the Controller and Accountant-General, Grace Adzroe has said.<\/p>\n
The plan, she said, has been endorsed by the Inter-Ministerial committee on payroll and approved by Cabinet.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”sy8vpffvn4vlYafkNS2y2bqPWCFZr3gW”]Madam Adzroe who disclosed this at the second national forum on the implementation of the SSPP, said the work plan which was being implemented, involved measures including the integration of payroll data with Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) Biometric database as a means of ensuring single identity of employees on the payroll.<\/p>\n
The measures will include the use of the current biometric database to validate the identity of employees and suspension of salaries of employees with zero bank accounts in the payroll system, as well as the suspension of employees without SSNIT numbers.<\/p>\n
According to her, plans have been concluded with the Ghana Interbank Payment Settlement System (GHIPSS) for payment of salaries through the E-switch system.<\/p>\n
She disclosed that currently, the Controller and the Accountant-General Department (CAGD) is conducting headcount in collaboration with the Internal Audit Agency.<\/p>\n
She indicated that system controls on data entry minimized data entry errors and ensured integrity of data, adding that currently entry controls were available on the CACD\u2019s payroll system.<\/p>\n
She said these will be strictly enforced, as the data was cleaned to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the data and its logical sequencing.<\/p>\n
Madam Adzroe also stated that the CACD and the Ministry of Finance were currently working to clean the payroll data,\u00a0 and enforce system controls.<\/p>\n
She said as at the end of March this year, 93 per cent of employees on the mechanized payroll had registered for the E-pays slip and could assess their pay slips electronically.<\/p>\n
The feedback system on the E-pay slip had minimized complainants of employees through the media.<\/p>\n
She urged managers to take keen interest in payroll cost, and appealed to employees on the mechanized payroll to update their data on the payroll.<\/p>\n
She warned that sanctions will be applied to managers who failed to validate monthly salary vouchers of their employees.<\/p>\n
