August salaries for some government workers suspended
The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department has suspended the
August 2017 salaries of some workers on government’s mechanised payroll.
Those
affected include validators who failed to validate their payrolls
through the Electronic Salary Payment Voucher (ESPV) system in August
2017 as well as employees whose salaries were not validated.
Others
include employees who were not verified during ESVP validation process
in August 2017 as well as those with zero or irregular bank account
details and others with wrong or without SSNIT numbers, no bank details
and same account numbers for different employees.
Employees without the Biometric Registration System at the Ministry of Finance also had the salaries suspended.
The suspension is in line with Regulations 297 of the Financial Administration Regulation, 2004 (LI 1802).
An
announcement in the Daily Graphic on Thursday stated that the objective
to suspend the salaries is to clean the payroll data and improve the
efficiency of government’s payroll management.
The announcement urged affected employees to take the following steps to have their salaries reactivated:
•
Those whose salaries were suspended due to non-validation of salaries
would be paid at the end of September 2017 on the condition that their
heads of department validate them on the ESPV platform for September
2017.
• Employees declared unknown but not missing at their
various place of work are required to submit reactivation letters signed
by the heads of departments to the controller and Accountant General’s
Department Payroll Processing Division.
• Employees with zero or
irregular bank account details and others with wrong or without SSNIT
numbers and employees sharing the same account numbers should submit the
required information to the Payroll Processing Directorate of the
Controller and Accountant General’s Department for processing.
•
Employees yet to go through the biometric registration exercise should
contact the Biometric Registration Centre at the Ministry of Finance
with the necessary documents for registration.
