President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has directed that the use of the Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) platform, to administer the payroll of the Ghana Education Service (GES) should be suspended until such a time that all issues relating to its use are resolved.
In the meantime the IPPD 2 should be reverted to in administering the GES payroll pending the resolution of all HRMIS issues related to the GES, the President has directed.
This was made known in a letter dated September 12, 2019 and signed by Nana Bediatuo Asante, Secretary to the President and addressed to the Minister of Finance, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta.
There are some labour agitations involving the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) and other unions in the education sector in connection with payroll related issues on the newly introduced HRMIS.
