Some teachers who spoke to seekersnewsgh.com explain that, their take home at the end is less than Ghc 300 because they have taken loans just to survive the months. Some even said they go as far as Borrowing Ghc 50 from any available source: friends, Loan Apps, Bank Loan Top ups, MTN Loan just to survive the month.
Some even said their children are not able to go to school because they can’t afford it. Most family members think they are stingy because any time they call them for help they are unable to help
With all these headache they keep mum because they feel the economy is in recession. Not until in recent times they came across a social media document showing how much some CEO’s of SOEs earn and the details of their earning. ‘It’s sad in our line of work, how come I even chose this profession a new recruit in GRA is earning an amount close to my annual salary”.
”CEOs of State-Owned Enterprises in Ghana are paid Inconvenience Allowance of 500 cedis a Day. Meanwhile small increment in government workers basic salary is wahala” said some Twitter users.
About 36 public servant group are also demanding neutrality allowance after CLOGSAG strike. Government agrees to pay the neutrality allowance just that it wants the name neutrality allowance changed. All Public servants also wants the Neutrality allowance. Just imagine when teachers become politically bias in the classroom, They must also be paid neutrality allowance.
Govt has agreed to pay ‘Neutrality Allowance’ in quarter 4, 2022, but will change name.
The Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) is one of the major components of the Single Spine Pay Policy (SSPP) introduced by the Government of Ghana and got implemented in 2010, to regulate the payment of public service workers especially those under article 190 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.
Even with this structure that is to put all qualifications on an acceptable rank/ scale some still find themselves wanting because the allowances attached are not given to all, only a handful.
