The Office of the Chief Personnel Officer and the Public Services Association yesterday signed a Memorandum of Agreement that provides a 10 per cent increase in salaries and allowances for public officers for the periods 2014 to 2016 and 2017 to 2019. The agreement also consolidates the Cost of Living Allowance for both triennia.
Chief Personnel Officer Commander Dr Daryl Dindial met with the PSA Executive to formalise the agreement, which includes adjustments to several allowances such as meal, travelling, house, transfer, motor vehicle loan, clothing and laundry allowances. It also covers the purchase and installation of compressed natural gas kits as well as the acquisition of T vehicles for eligible officers within the Civil Service and Statutory Authorities.
Commander Dindial said he would continue discussions with the PSA on the methods and timelines for settling outstanding allowances and the payment of arrears. He added that exploration of the possible allocation of Housing Development Corporation homes to public officers remained at a preliminary stage and would require full assessments before any decision by the Cabinet.
