The Ministry of Finance has extended the deadline for the payment of April salaries of some public sector workers who failed to enroll onto the SSNIT biometric system.<\/p>\n

The workers have up till the 15th<\/sup> of June 2017 to re-register to get their salaries paid.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Finance Ministry and copied to Citi Business News<\/strong> indicated that about 9,000 workers have been paid after successful validation.<\/p>\n

Also, an additional 3,000 public sector workers are expected to receive their April salaries by the end of this month following the validation by the Finance Ministry.<\/p>\n

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

A timeline outlined by the Finance Ministry indicate that the affected workers are expected to commence the process leading to payments, from today, May 22, 2017.<\/p>\n

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

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
