The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, FWSC says it will this year (2022), commence processes to review the Single Spine Pay Policy, SSPP, after about ten years of its implementation.
To this effect Fair Wages is putting a team together, comprising all stakeholders from the public and private sectors to commence the review process.
The Head of Public Affairs at the FWSC, Earl Ankrah who made this known said the review would focus on job evaluation factors, allowances and non-core allowances, consolidation of certain allowances under the basic pay, the premium, and performance management among others.
”The Commission will hold a stakeholder engagement session to begin the processes for a complete overhaul of the pay policy”.
”The SSPP is a policy for salary administration for Public Sector institutions introduced by the government in 2010, to reinstate equity and transparency in public service pay administration”.
Despite the policy seeking to eliminate inequalities in the Public Sector pay structure, its implementation over the last decade has not been smooth, with stakeholders and beneficiaries constantly agitating that the policy had failed to address inequalities.
