CONTROLLER SUSPENDS PAYMENT OF SEVERAL PUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS

Some public sector employees have had their September 2022 paychecks withheld by the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD).

The CAGD said in a statement that this decision was made because the payroll system did not match the identities of the impacted government employees’ banks.

It also affects employees whose bank account details are incorrect.

The CAGD released a statement on October 3 explaining the decision to postpone salary payments until “quality assurance and other validation procedures” continue.

Employees whose bank names do not match those on file were told to bring official documentation verifying their presence at the post and visit the payroll coordination section of CAGD in Block A, Room 32.

An appointment letter, current posting letter, National ID card, last three months’ worth of pay stubs, and a voided check booklet are all necessary items.

If an employee’s bank account number is incorrect, they must notify their payroll processing systems (PPSs).
