Gov’t to pay out $4M for 2017 salary increments this year

Three-quarters of the salary increments owed to public servants for the 2017 work-year will be paid by year’s end.

The total amount of monies government owes for that work year is six million dollars.

“Four million dollars is expected to be disbursed in 2021 — inclusive of social contributions — and the balance of approximately two million dollars will be paid in 2022 following the Department of Human Resources’ review and assessment of those officers with payroll anomalies for the 2017 work year,” Cabinet’s post-meeting statement released on Wednesday said.
