No More Salary Increase Due To High Govt Wage Bill
Following the high government wage bill, the Salaries and Renumeration Commission (SRC) has declared that there will be no upward review or increment of monthly salary.
Employers are advised by the SRC not to review civil servant salaries in an attempt to control excessive labor costs.
The chair of the SRC, Lyn Mengich, declared during her speech on Monday at the 3rd National Wage Bill Conference at the Bomas of Kenya that this plan will assist in achieving financial sustainability and harmonisation in the nation.
Mengich stated that in cases where there is no indication of the ability to sustain a review among other factors, employers should not take into consideration any review of financial items.
The chair went on to say that Mengich all institutions should function within the midpoint of the 50th percentile, which represents salary offerings.
Those who fall short of the above threshold are also encouraged to exercise caution while working to meet the threshold.
She also stipulated that institutions that rank higher than the 50 percentile must maintain their current pay scales.
Conversely, individuals falling below the 50% percentile will be gradually pushed in the direction of the mark.
Mengich made note of the fact that the 50th percentile midpoint payment method was developed in order to guarantee that all public employees would receive streamlined compensation.
Mengich added that the SRC recommends that the employer implement a pay increase set at the required or very close to the point in the event that a public servant is paid less than the midpoint.
