After more than seven hours of back and forth debate, the National Assembly last week Thursday passed an amended motion which will see new employees of the public service receive their first salary within a “reasonable” time.
Prior to the passage of the motion which was tabled by APNU+AFC MP, Tabitha Sarabo-Halley, new public service employees were required to work three months before receiving their first salary.
The motion sought to “ensure that public servants receive their first paycheck no more than one (1) month after the commencement of their employment in the public sector”.
