President Dr. Irfaan Ali Tuesday announced that all public servants will received a 10% retroactive salary increase this year.
And in 2025, they will receive an 8% increase.
The President said these increases follow talks with the Guyana Public Service Union (GPSU).
“This 10% increase in salary, which is retroactive from 1st January 2024, will amount to 35% cumulative salary increase over the last four years.
“Further, we’ve been able to bring to the union that 2025 will also see an increase in the salary of public servants of 8%,” he said.
Outside of these increases, the Head of State said the government will work on various salary scale adjustments from next year. This move, he explained, is meant to guarantee that the workers take home more money, monthly.
Qualification allowances will also be introduced from January 1, 2025
Individuals with their qualification from the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) will get a monthly allowance of $15,000.
Those with a Master’s Degree will get $22,000 montly, and those with a doctoral degree, $32,000 monthly.
“This is in-keeping with our commitment of incentivising education, incentivising training and the development of our human capital,” the Head of State said.
