Zim govt changes public servants pay dates

Government has changed pension and pay dates for all civil servants with effect from this month to allow it more time to mobilise funds amid liquidity constraints on the market.

Public Service Commission secretary Pretty Sunguro said in a statement yesterday that Treasury had revised the dates due to "liquidity challenges".

Members of the army usually received their salaries between the 11th and 12th day of the month. Those in the education sector got theirs between the 16th and 22nd of the month while the rest of the civil service got their salaries between the 19th and 22nd.

Pensioners, who usually received their monthly dues around the 20th, have been pushed to between the 27th and 28th.
