Since the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission began the PSJSNC in 2010, the increment in base pay for public sector workers has kept declining with the worse seen in 2021 and 2022, 4% and 7% respectively.
In 2011, the increment was 20 per cent and that was considered the highest.
Subsequently, the numbers began declining, as in 2012 an 18 per cent increment was given and that reduced to 10 per cent in 2013.
In 2014, there was no increment but rather, the tripartite agreed to a 10 per cent offer of cost of living allowance (COLA) to cushion workers but an increment of 15 per cent was agreed on in 2015.
In the subsequent years, the agreed increment for 2016 was (10 per cent),
2017 increment was (12.5 per cent )
2018 increment was (11 per cent).
A 10 per cent increment was offered in both 2019 and 2020.

Anything less than 60% will not be enough to survive in this current state of the country.
Things are dieyer now
Government should give 60% because of inflation now. Even 50% is not good
The cost of living is so high so I prefer 60% nothing else
65
A 50% minimum wouldn’t be bad. If the so called article 71 office holders can give themselves 60%, 65%, and 79%, what is preventing them from giving public sector workers the 60% they are requesting? Let’s be serious in this country for once.
60% and nothing less
50% at least
I will go for 40% increment at least, at maximum I will go for 50%
Government should do the needful
At least 55% is a bit ok
We are working for our survival but not die,leaders.
Need more than 50% increments.
60%
Workers over the years have sacrificed a lot, we now deserve something not less than 40 to 50 percent. If motivation level is high definitely productivity Will increase.
I will go for 75% increment
70 percent
In fact ,due the salary of Ghanaian teachers, they are poor.Teachers need more than that 65%.
cost of living is too high with all the corruption in government i demand a 65% increase theres no middle class its either u poor or rich
55%
65%
The worst percentage that should be accepted is 40percent.
65%
Peace council my foot
43%
21percent along side 15 percent cola
I suggest 100% increment
Due to the rate of inflation, the increment should be 60%or 65%
60 percent or 65 percent
Agreed 65%
60
Nothing less than the inflation rate
80 percent
50% increment is okay
63% is okay considering current hardship.
65% because of the economic hardship
Where was Peace Council when workers were given 4% & 7% in 2021 & 2022 respectively. How many times has Peace spoken about the mismanagement resulting in the worsen economy?.
Ask again they shouldn’t dare get involved in this at all how are they expecting us to survive with this current economy. Peace council my foot
65% is very cool
65%
40%pluscola15%
65 percent is okay due to the increment on vat’s
60% increment
Ex-gracia and 65% which is big? SSNIT and x Gracia are not the same
80%
50%
We need not less than 50% because inflation alone is 40.4% or 45%+the Cola
55.8% is a bit decent looking at the poor state of life of the average Ghanaian worker.
I suggest 48%
55%
