Zim Now Writer

Civil servants' July pay dates have been pushed forward to allow a rerun of their payroll following adjustments to their remuneration, Zim Now has learnt.

In a circular from Finance Permanent secretary George Guvamatanga to the Public Service Commission on Thursday, the former said:

"As you maybe aware, government and workers met on the 7th of July 2023, as part of the ongoing negotiations to improve the remuneration of public servants and pensions."

"Taking account of the agreement by workers to the tabled proposal signed on the 11th of July 2023 and the Cabinet directive of the same day, that the processing of the offer be implemented, Treasury proposes to shift pay dates to allow the payroll to be rerun as follows:

Army, Air Force, Health, ZRP, ZPCS from July 14 to July 18

Education from July 17 to July 21," the circular reads.

The date for the rest of service and independent commissions remains unchanged on July 21 while  pensioners and grant aided institutions will be paid on July 25.
