The Government of Ghana has approved a 10% salary increament for public sector workers under the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) for the 2025 fiscal year.
The agreement, signed on February 20, 2025, between the government represented by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment (MLJE), and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and Organized Labour, states that the increment will take effect from March 1, 2025, and remain in place until December 2025.
This agreement results from negotiations between the Public Services Joint Standing Negotiating Committee (PSJSNC) and key stakeholders, including workers’ unions and public service institutions.
The 10% salary adjustment was officially agreed upon and signed by:
Ing. Benjamin Arthur – Chief Executive, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission
Bro. Joshua Ansah – Secretary-General, TUC
Hon. Dr. Abdul-Rashid Hassan Pelpuo (MP) – Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment
Dr. Isaac Bampoe Addo – Chairman, FORUM
Hon. Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson (MP) – Minister of Finance.
This increase follows a 23% salary hike in 2024, introduced to help workers cope with rising living costs and economic challenges.
The new agreement aims to provide financial relief to public sector employees as they navigate economic conditions in 2025.
