Labour backs proposed IPEC but demands full involvement in pay reforms

Organised labour has expressed support for the proposed Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC), while calling for its continuous involvement in the process of establishing the new public sector compensation body.

Held under the theme "Towards an Independent, Equitable, and Sustainable Compensation System: Stakeholders’ Perspectives on Ghana’s Public Sector Pay Reforms,” the engagement was aimed at incorporating the views of organised labour into the draft IPEC Bill.

The proposed commission is expected to provide a new framework for determining and managing public sector compensation, with emphasis on fairness, transparency and fiscal sustainability.
