The Chief Executive of Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, George Smith-Graham has stated that his outfit is not considering scrapping the Single Salary Pay Policy (SSPP)as reported in the media.
He noted that the government regarded the pay policy as a "brilliant idea", and would rather look at its totality and improve it.
Mr Smith-Graham told Joy FM's Super Morning Show Monday that the Presidential Forum to be held in the Volta regional capital, Ho this week will largely consider ways to sustain the pay policy.
The theme for the forum will centre on building national consensus on the sustainability of the national pay policy.
The forum will be attended by interest groups as well as President John Mahama.
The pay policy has been bedevilled with several challenges and there have been calls for it to be scrapped.
But Mr Smith-Graham has reiterated the policy would not be scrapped, stressing there will be total assessment on "how to make sure it is sustained" and among others to "slow down the high wage bill" in order to "find final solution to the challenges confronting" the policy.
He said the Commission will look at "where we have come from, where we are now and where we want to go".
