New Salaries for Public Sector Workers Out, Increased By 30%

The New Salary Structure for Public Sector Workers is Out. Per the Information available to this portal, the base pay for the year has been increased by at least 30%.

The 30% increase will affect the salaries of teaching and non-teaching staff of the service under the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) for all public sector workers.

Following this, teachers and staff at the Ghana Education Service will also see an increment in their basic pay, but without any COLA. The base pay on the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) has been increased by 30 percent across the board for 2023.

This increment takes effect from January 1, this year and also brings an end to the cost of living allowance (COLA) of 15 percent which the government paid public sector workers between July and December last year.
