Gov’t approves 10% wage hike for public sector employees

The government has approved a 10 percent wage hike for public sector workers following successful negotiations between the Labour Union and President John Dramani Mahama.

This marks the second wage adjustment in less than a year. The latest pay rise follows a significant 23% salary adjustment in 2024, which was aimed at cushioning workers against rising living costs.

President Mahama personally engaged with union representatives to secure their support for the increase, underscoring the government’s commitment to easing financial burdens amid economic challenges.

Minister of Labour, Jobs and Employment, Rashid Pelpuo in his announcement said the increment takes effect on March 1, 2025

The wage hike is expected to bring relief to thousands of public sector employees
