THE Government has released civil servants' pay dates for this month with the military expected to get their salaries on Tuesday.
Workers in the health sector will be paid next Friday while the police and Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services are expected to be paid on July 25.
Those in the education sector will get their salaries on July 28 while the rest of the civil servants are expected to get their money on August 2.
Pensioners will receive their allowances on August 7 while grant-aided institutions will be paid on August 10.
Zimbabwe Teachers' Association's chief executive officer Mr Sifiso Ndlovu yesterday said it was encouraging that the Government was consistently paying civil servant their salaries. "What is important is that there is assurance of payment of salaries within the same month for most of the civil servants. That's a relief for most of the employees because in other sectors some workers go for several months without salary," said Mr Ndlovu.
He acknowledged that the rest of the civil servants, pensioners and grant aided institutions were getting their payments the following month.
Mr Ndlovu said it was the employees' hope for them to receive their salaries within the month of working.
Due to economic challenges the Government has adopted the staggered approach to payment of civil servants salaries.
