Civil servants will have their salary advances capped at an amount which is not more than a month’s pay under proposals meant to protect their payslips from increased deductions.
A draft human resources policy by the Public Service Commission (PSC), which has been opened up for public scrutiny, says that the workers will only get advance of up to two months under "very exceptional circumstances." This is the first attempt to cap salary advances for civil servants to ensure deductions do not outstrip the monthly pay.
