Salary Increase in 2023: Approved Percentage to Take Effect?
Has there been an approved base pay percentage for 2023?
Base salary negotiations will take place for the sixth time at the upcoming planned meeting. The prior meetings didn’t provide any fruitful outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary for organized labor to show up for the impending meeting.
The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has once again invited organized labour and government team to continue with the negotiations of 2023 base pay.
The government team and labor union/association representatives are scheduled to meet at the Ministry of Health (MoH) conference room on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, at 2:00 pm to resume the base wage negotiations, according to FWSC.
It’s crucial to remember that not all organized labor unions received invitations this time around. The mouthpieces of two of the teachers were not invited. A call was declined for the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) and the Coalition of Concern Teachers, Ghana (CCT GH).
This means the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) is the only teacher union that was invited to represent the teaching fraternity.
When will the 2023 salary Approved Percentage Take Effect?
Under normal circumstances, a salary increment is supposed to take effect in January 2023, but in a situation where an agreed percentage is not reached, it may delay.
It is however expected that the government will pay all arrears anytime the percentage is agreed upon.

Organized labor deserves better. A 65% salary boost is welcoming news to all public sector workers.
