Public Servants can expect first December Salary by Next Week, Second Before Month-End

PM: Public Servants to Receive Early Salaries Next Week, Second December Payment for Back Pay

Prime Minister Gaston Browne says public servants will receive their December salaries early next week, followed by a second payment later in the month that will count toward outstanding back pay.

Responding to questions during the call-in segment of the Browne and Browne show on Pointe FM, Browne said workers would be paid early, telling listeners they would receive their salaries “probably by maybe next weekend.”

He added that before the end of the month, public servants will receive “yet another pay,” which will be applied to retroactive back pay owed by the government.

“After that second salary, which would count as back pay, the government would have spent about $100 million paying back pay to civil servants,” Browne said.

The prime minister said the payments form part of the government’s ongoing effort to clear arrears owed to public-sector workers, including obligations accumulated during previous periods, while still meeting regular payroll commitments.

Browne said the administration remains focused on honouring its obligations to workers while maintaining fiscal stability.
