Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) says the outcome of its planned payroll monitoring exercise would make a case for the review of the Single Spine Salary Structure (SPSS).<\/b><\/p>\n

The FWSC on Wednesday announced that it would embark on a National Payroll Monitoring Exercise from April 1, 2023, in accordance with the FWSC Act, 2007 (Act 737).<\/p>\n

The Commission said the exercise would not only sanitise the Public Sector Payroll but would also help to identify the lapses and inequalities in the benefits and allowances of public sector workers.<\/p>\n

In an interview on Wednesday, Mr Benjamin Arthur, Chief Executive, FWSC, said \u201cit is likely\u201d that there are \u201cghost names\u201d on the Public Sector Payroll.<\/p>\n

Explaining the approach of the exercise, he said the FWSC would peruse and analyse the payroll data of all public sector institutions and verify on the field to ensure that the remuneration, allowances, and benefits approved by the Commission were implemented accordingly.<\/p>\n

Mr Arthur said the Exercise \u201cwill not be an event\u201d but would be done continuously across the country in compliance with the Commission\u2019s legal mandate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is likely that there are ghost names on the register. Day in and out, you could have an individual deceased but between the time that the individual died and the time that we can take the person off the payroll entirely, there would have been a time elapsed and within that time frame, you can refer to that individual as a ghost worker.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf an individual is not supposed to be on the payroll but through fraudulent means, the person is on the payroll but is not working and nowhere to be found in that organisation and yet is being paid, that is a very clear incident of a ghost worker,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Arthur rejected claims that the FWSC did not have the mandate to undertake payroll monitoring, arguing that the FWSC Act empowered the Commission to undertake that task.<\/p>\n

Section 3B of the FWSC Act directs the Commission to \u201cdevelop and monitor allowances and benefits of public servants and the consolidation of salaries of public servants.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Act further enjoins the Commission to \u201ccoordinate, manage, and monitor collective bargaining processes in which Government is the direct or indirect employer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Arthur said the FWSC had received the backing of all relevant institutions and that the exercise would take off in April as announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny institution that we will be visiting would be informed. Some of the institutions have been in the known for a very long time before this public notice. For some, we have gathered data based on which they would be engaged,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
