The bulk of civil servants are most likely to be paid July salaries next month as government is still to work out pay dates.
The pay schedule will only be announced on Friday, Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Prisca Mupfumira has said.
"We are working with Treasury and the dates will be availed to them on Friday" she said.
"Finance and Economic Development Minister Patrick Chinamasa was out of the country and we have appealed to have the dates improved from last time. Government promises that soon things will be back to normal after the bonus payments made us go off-rail.".
President Mugabe last week blamed pay delays on decade long sanctions.
Normally civil servants get paid beginning mid-month, but revenue challenges have seen tradition being broken.
The military which is traditionally the first group to be paid failed to get salaries last week.
