AGMC members remain restive over outstanding retroactive payments
Approximately 400 members of the Association of Government Medical Consultants, (AGMC) remain restive, over outstanding retroactive payments.
Despite the compensation review-heads of agreement-being signed, in September 2024, there was a delay in the wage implementations for the group.
Payment of the increased salaries did not commence until December, and no retroactive payment, has yet been received.
Yesterday, the association said the finance ministry in a letter, offered to pay the retroactive salary in the first quarter of the next financial year- which is April – June, 2025.
The AGMC said following discussions with members, they maintained that this timeline remains unreasonably protracted, deliberately vague and non-committal.
As a result, they rejected the offer.
Executive member of the AGMC, Dr. Myrton Smith, said members prefer if the payments are made within this financial year which ends next month.
He said if delays persist, normalcy cannot be guaranteed.
