The Government of Ghana has officially approved a 10% salary increase for public sector workers under the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) for the 2025 fiscal year.
According to the agreement signed on February 20, 2025, between the government—represented by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment (MLJE), and the Ministry of Finance (MoF)—and Organized Labour, the increment will be effective from January 1, 2025, and will run until December 2025.
This agreement follows negotiations between the Public Services Joint Standing Negotiating Committee (PSJSNC) and key stakeholders, including workers’ unions and public service institutions.
The 10% salary adjustment was formally agreed upon and signed by:
✅ Ing. Benjamin Arthur – Chief Executive, Fair Wages and Salaries Commission
✅ Bro. Joshua Ansah – Secretary-General, TUC
✅ Hon. Dr. Abdul-Rashid Hassan Pelpuo (MP) – Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment
✅ Dr. Isaac Bampoe Addo – Chairman, FORUM
✅ Hon. Dr. Cassiel Ato Baah Forson (MP) – Minister of Finance
This increment comes after a 23% salary increase in 2024, which was implemented to cushion workers against the rising cost of living and economic challenges.
The new agreement is expected to bring some financial relief to public sector employees as they navigate economic conditions in 2025.
