The Controller and Accountant General Department (CAGD) has advised all workers on the Department’s payroll to give their various banks one week grace period after its stipulated pay days to enable their salaries reflect in their bank account. Mrs. Boya Abdulai, the Upper West Regional Director of the Department said this after some workers, mostly made up of teachers besieged the Regional office of the Department with various complaints regarding their March salaries. She maintained that it was not always appropriate for workers to rush to their banks expecting to pick their salaries on dates announced by the CAGD for the payment of salaries. Mrs. Abdulai noted that a lot of things were involved in the processing of salaries, adding that the CAGD, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) and the various banks all had different roles to play before salaries are credited to their accounts. The Regional Director explained that Controller’s pay system does not discriminate against any Department but noted that a bank may decide to start with a particular Organisation or Department based on reasons best known to that particular bank. She appealed to Heads of Departments, who were recently sensitized on the operations of the payroll to endeavour to carry the message across to their employees in order to reduce the level of agitation associated with issues of their salaries.
