Tinubu Govt Plans Earn-as-you-work Pay Policy For Workers

Published 2 days ago on 8 June 2023By Olugbenga Ige

The Federal Government has designed a National Pay Policy (NPP) to check arbitrariness in the workplace and to ensure appropriate remuneration for Nigerian workers.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Salaries Incomes and Wages Commission (NSIWC), Ekpo Nta, made this known on Wednesday in Abuja.

Speaking with Daily Sun, Nta said the policy will calculate the number of hours a worker spends in the office and the quality of work done which will determine salary payment.

He said: “What it entails is that when people are working in any country, even in your own private organization, you have a policy guiding them. For example, for a fresh appointment in government, you know that you will work for 35 years or at age 60, whichever comes first, you leave that system.

“So, those are the kinds of policies you have to put in place. In other to earn that salary you have to be at work from a particular time in the morning to a particular time in the day or night for those who do shift. For those in the information sector, you don’t even have opening and closing times. So, it’s all these that cumulate to determine your remuneration. Are you going to get a fixed salary? Are you going to get additional allowances?

“Are you going to get fringe benefits because sometimes fringe benefits might not be in terms of cash? Do we give you a voucher to go to the hospital or do we give you a staff bus to take you home? These are parts of what will be defined as your pay policy. How many times do I need to pay you in a year? Should it be every month? Should it be every week? And how many times should I give you an increment? You know for some people you have an automatic increment after one year.

“How many times should we review your salary? Should inflation affect your salary? If inflation is so high should it make you continue what you are earning and if not what percentages should we use or what indices do we use? These are what will constitute a pay policy.

“Besides, as an employer, before you recruit, you should be able to know your income and determine how many workers to employ. In addition, you want to look at your purse in determining a policy. If you, as a person want to recruit a driver for your home, you have to decide how much you are generating to be able to pay a driver.

“So, you can say you can employ a driver but you will not be able to pay N30,000 per month. That now becomes a policy in your home. If you want to have two drivers, two things will happen. It’s either you increase your budget of income to be able to meet two drivers or you negotiate with the driver to come between 8 in the morning and 12 noon. These constitute what you call your own local policies at home.”

Era of idleness in govt work is coming to an end.

Asslickers on the beat

Good development if implemented effectively.

Some senior workers will be doing their junior ones shege. It has prons and cons

They should start that from the streets of Lagos.

I hope it extents to the streets of Lagos and hinterlands of zamfara and katsina.

I see alpha beta consulting and mushroom it firms in Lagos getting contracts at inflatef rates to implement biometric loging in systems to track workers presence in work places. This I have seen.

Lazy people in govt parastata wont like this policy. Make we find police way day duty for ashawo house. For night duty they drink beer

Typical ipob mentality.

It's a good Policy. It will eradicate Lazy Workers and Ghost Workers Undeserved Entitlements.

Now, hope is on the way and this should be good news to any hardworking Nigerian as opposed to criminal miscreants.

The same miscreants who sing with "working country" will now call Tinubu unprintable names for this. Their meaning of "working country" is constituting nuisance and getting paid $10k.

Tinubu's campaign slogan is Renewed Hope.

What is even the slogan of those lazy people searching for manhood?

Great

femisplash:

Typical ipob mentality.

You mean lazy people?

Okay

It will take decades for Nigeria government to begin to pay workers per hour :PNigeria government

Holybook1:
How about payment per hour

Igbos no dey like good things for Nigeria. They sadist
They always jumps around like a dancing frog and overly excited when they hear bad news😂

This drug dealer is copying Peter Obi 's policies right left and centre.

I'm happy he is doing that, rather than dragging up his own Agbado policies.

The Jargaban first Pandora to release a Manifesto

The long and short of this rhitoric is that government wants to downsize the public service. I quite agree that the public service is overbloated with redundant workers and needs pruning.

However, caution mist be taken when implementing such austerity measures and those to be disengaged should also be paid their benefits in full.

As for those that would remain after the exercise, I would advise that they should also be adequately remunerated to motivate them and also discourage them from engaging in corrupt practices.

As a matter of fact l, academic qualification should not be the sole determinant of what a public worker is to be paid. Consideration should be made for skill sets as well as essential services.

On the issue of paying according to the time put in, I think it is also a welcome development, if it will be properly applied to the service. I know of many civil servants who rarely go to work due to lack of office space or issues of posting, yet they get paid at the end of every month.

Above all, government should also look into the issue of lavishly paid politicians, especially those on life salaries and entitlements, which is also constituting heavy burden on the coffers of government. If you claim you can't pay poor workers who depend on the money to survive, the same rule should also apply to stupendously wealthy politicians who are feeding fat on public funds.

This is a bakery policy

Renew surfering!

People needs to start getting paid per hour too.

It will spread a job than just one person working like elephant and eating like ant.

You can have 2,3 jobs and depending on your capacity. And you will know that you do the actual work instead of sitting around winding out time cos not employee wants to give you money to sit around.

I think the policy might not favour teachers.
What happens to the days they go on holidays?
Does that mean they won't get paid for the periods?

For ipob terrorists.

Pretty sure that will be taken care of.

Otherwise, how do you explain for workers on course, leave, official assignment etc?

Doesn't really work that way. There are jobs that 2 hours is enough for a day. Example, lecturers.

Still, there are jobs that require you to be in the office for over 10 hrs, eg doctors.
