Govt, civil servants discuss pay delays, bond notes

THE Government yesterday began a three-day engagement with civil servants meant to apprise them of their conditions of service and also the non-monetary incentives such as housing, that are being worked out.

According to the Herald, the workers are also expected to be informed about the on-going rationalisation exercise in the civil service, shift in pay dates, impending introduction of bond notes as well as pensions and medical aid benefits.

The Government has invited various experts in different areas that have an impact on conditions of service for civil servants to attend the meetings.

Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare permanent secretary Mr Ngoni Masoka said the engagement was a culmination of the meetings civil servants had with Ministers Prisca Mupfumira (Public Service) and Patrick Chinamasa (Finance), and Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Dr John Mangudya two months ago.
