At least 17,000 public sector workers are yet to receive their April 2017 salaries for non-biometric SSNIT registration.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Finance Ministry and copied to Citi Business News<\/strong> said about 9,300 out of the over 26,000 affected workers have been paid after successful validation.<\/p>\n

According to the Finance Ministry, the payments amounted to 11.3 million cedis.<\/p>\n

3,000 of the remaining workers are expected to receive their April salaries by the end of May\u00a0following the validation by the Finance Ministry.<\/p>\n

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta in April, ordered the suspension of April salaries to about 26,500 public sector workers.<\/p>\n

The directive followed the failure by the workers to register onto the biometric system of SSNIT.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, workers who have registered with SSNIT but have not gone through SSNIT biometric registration are expected to visit any of the offices of SSNIT to be registered.<\/p>\n

Also, staff who have gone through SSNIT biometric registration but were not paid in the initial payments on the 11th<\/sup> of May are expected to visit SSNIT for proof of registration and further validation.<\/p>\n

In addition, staff who have not registered with SSNIT are expected to do so for subsequent validation and payments.<\/p>\n

A timeline outlined by the Finance Ministry indicate that the affected workers commence the process on Monday, May 22nd<\/sup>, 2017.<\/p>\n

Also, complete validation and payments by the Controller and Accountant General\u2019s Department is expected to be completed by June 15th<\/sup>, 2017.<\/p>\n
