Government has increased base pay on the Single Spine Salary Structure for the 2023 financial year by 30% after several negotiations with Organised Labour.

The increment takes retrospective effect from January 1, 2023.

This follows a meeting with Organised Labour on Thursday, January 12 after ten unsuccessful negotiations between both parties.

By this decision, the government said the 15% Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) for public sector workers has ceased.

Organized labour demanded a 60% increment on the back of harsh economic conditions, but government appealed to the union to consider current fiscal factors.
