The government and organised labour have signed an agreement to increase the base pay for public sector workers.
The increment, announced on Thursday, 20th February 2025, will be implemented from January to December 2025.
Organised labour had previously called for an increase in the base pay, and according to the Labour Minister, Dr Rashid Pelpuo, the daily minimum wage has now risen to GH₵ 19.97.
This is 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 the rising cost of living.
