5% Deductions in one’s basic Salary now won’t be taken lightly as workers protest over a deduction seen on their payslips.

The 5% Protest by Workers.
The Controller and Accountant General’s Department has issued a press release to address the issue.
The letter reads ……
CONTROLLER & ACCOUNTANT- GENERAL’S DEPARTMENT
PRESS RELEASE
The attention of the Controller and Accountant-General has been drawn to the protest by CLOGSAG members about the 5% deduction from their basic salary toward tier 3 pension contributions for its members.
The Department wishes to re-state that it prepares the payroll based on inputs submitted by Employer Organizations and Unions, in the case of union dues and related deductions. Processing of such inputs is undertaken when properly signed communications are received from legitimate authorities.

We, therefore, recommend that any concern about the said deduction should be channeled through the management of CLOGSAG.
