Chief Per­son­nel Of­fi­cer Dr Daryl Din­di­al says Gov­ern­ment is main­tain­ing its po­si­tion that the set­tle­ment of back­pay ar­rears owed to mem­bers of the Pub­lic Ser­vices As­so­ci­a­tion (PSA) must in­volve a com­bi­na­tion of cash and non-cash pay­ments.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, Din­di­al con­firmed that dis­cus­sions on the is­sue are still on­go­ing.

“I can con­firm the Gov­ern­ment is main­tain­ing all set­tle­ment of ar­rears must be a mix of cash and non-cash. I won’t be able to say any­thing fur­ther, since par­ties are still dis­cussing the mat­ter,” the CPO said.
