Fair Wages Commission Acting CEO Proposes Hourly Pay in Ghana

Dr. Edward Bernard Adjei-Poku, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), has proposed the introduction of an hourly wage system across all sectors in Ghana. This proposal aims to align public sector compensation with actual hours worked, promoting fairness and productivity.

He believes that adopting an hourly pay system could address this challenge by directly linking compensation to productivity. […]
