Human Resource (HR) Managers could face sanctions if they fail to notify the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) to terminate inducement packages after beneficiaries have been transferred from deprived areas.
Mr John A.V. Dinduyella, Director in Charge of Performance Management, FWSC, addressing journalists at a Forum on Wednesday said the sanctions would include dismissal or refund of such monies into government chest.
He, therefore, urged all HR Managers to be alert and up to the task of monitoring all employees to prevent financial loss to the state.
The first ever press forum was aimed at providing the media with an overview of the processes leading to the development of a new Public Service Pay Policy for Ghana, dubbed: "Single Spine Salary Structure, (SSSS)."
It also formed part of the broad public education and communication strategy of the FWSC.
The SSSS is a unified salary structure that places all public sector employees on one vertical structure with incremental pay points from the lowest to the highest in an organization.
Mr Dinduyella said the Commission was also assisting HR, Payroll and accounting officers of the various public sector institutions as well as their union and association representatives to build the needed capacity for effective operation.
He added that in addition to this, a software was being mounted to monitor all payrolls.
Mr Dinduyella, however, identified inadequate office space, lack of equipments and logistics as some of the challenges facing the Commission.
Mr John Yaw Amankrah, Director, Pay Policy, Analysis and Research Division, FWSC, recalled that successive governments from the late 1960s have instituted actions to improve service delivery as well as improve pay and conditions of services of public service employees.
He noted that in anticipation of the effective implementation of a new pay policy, government in June 2007 established the FWSC to ensure fair, transparent and systematic implementation of the Public Service Pay Policy to reward its employees in accordance with the principle of "equal pay for work of equal worth".
Mr Amankrah assured that under the SSSS no worker would be made worse off.
