LASG: We Are Not Owing Doctors For Any Work Done by asudan: 12:58am On Dec 02, 2014
Lagos State Government on Sunday
reiterated that it had always paid the salaries
of all its employees, doctors inclusive, as and
when due.
Some doctors working in the state
government’s hospitals had early last week
staged a demonstration, alleging that the state
government owed them an unspecified
amount of money covering their salaries for
July and August this year.
But debunking the allegation, the government
said the complaint by the doctors referred to
July and August 2014 during which period the
affected doctors went on strike, adding that
their salaries were not paid in accordance
with the government’s policy of “No Work, No
Pay.”
Government also recalled, with regrets, that
the period of the doctors’ strike unfortunately
coincided with the outbreak of the Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD) in the state, pointing out that all
entreaties to the striking doctors to see
reasons and call off the strike were ignored.
In a statement jointly signed by Chairman,
Health Service Commission, Dr. M.O. Salako
and Chairman, Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital, Dr. O. Williams, the state
government said it had promptly resumed
payment of salaries of the doctors since they
resumed work.
The statement, which reiterated that the state
government’s policy of “no work, no pay” was
still in force, pointed out that the policy was
informed by the fact that it was unjustifiable
for any worker to be paid for work not done,
maintaining that any group of its employees
that embarked on strike in contravention of
the laid-down procedures governing such
actions would be so treated for the period of
strike.
Assuring all citizens of the administration’s
commitment to its responsibilities of
protecting lives and property in the state at
all times, the statement reiterated,
“government’s policy of “no work, no pay”
remains in force meaning you cannot be paid
for work not done.”
