The Salaries and Remunerations Commission (SRC) has frozen salary reviews in the entire public sector due to emerging fiscal constraints and budget cuts emanating from the withdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024.

In a statement, the Commission stated that the review is deferred until further notice.

“The Salaries and Remuneration Commission has deferred the implementation of the salary review for all other public officers in the financial year 2024/2025 until further notice, contingent upon the availability of funding.”

Further, the Commission indicated that the decision was informed by the lack of an allocated budget for implementing the advised remuneration and benefits for all other public officers for the financial year 2024/2025, which was to take effect in July 2024.

SRC said annual salary notch adjustments in existing salary structures will continue to be applied within budget allocation.

SRC also revealed that no additional funding will be provided for implementing the job evaluation results in the financial year 2024/2025.

Additionally, SRC says the Public service institutions with Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) impacted by the deferred implementation of salary review in the financial year 2024/2025, are advised to engage the respective trade unions accordingly.
