Although some municipal workers continued protest action yesterday over the nonpayment of their salaries for October, the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) has said that it has completed its payroll.

A press statement that was issued by the M&CC on Thursday also stated that it has started preparation of the November payroll.

The M&CC’s Public Relations Officer Debra Lewis yesterday explained that some workers were unable to immediately access their salaries because of the banking arrangements. “At Republic Bank, after the cheque was deposited, some hours after workers were able to get their salaries but at other banks it took a day and those staff were not able to get their salaries,” she said, while noting that all staff members were able to access salaries yesterday.
