The payments will be made in phases following an approved implementation schedule to manage the cash flow constraints by the Government.
Minister for Public Services, Westly Nukundj, has confirmed that the 3 percent pay increase has an implementation schedule that is fair and affordable and was agreed upon by the Budget Management Committee and approved by the National Executive Council in its Decision No.102/2018.
The schedule was to pay two fortnights back pay every pay day on top of the normal salary, which commenced in April 2019.
