The paying full salaries for rotational work schedule right now.Toyo1777 wrote:How long can the government maintain public sector salaries without making significant cuts
Would contract staff go first. The country is in serious debt
And is borrowing to pay salaries

The real question is, what value do private sector companies bring to the economy? Right now they eat more than they contribute.
Most private companies skirt taxes and ask any inland revenue find officer how much pressure it is to collect taxes from private companies.
Salaries aren't just figures that fall from the sky

Only civil and teaching receives pension. Contract gets gratuity after each contract usually 3 yrs and daily paid get a lump sum.
Grauity is in lieu of a pension, a lump sum payment by pension section of treasury.
So further to this u all can go ahead with bashing govt workers now

What's your solution? Government service jobs across the world are notoriously inefficient, though we might be one of the worst.
Also, our government service definitely has over inflated salaries.
T&TEC admin Clarks get 17-22k /mo and most of them sit down and scratch whole day.
In Trinidad, people aspire to get a lazy high paid government job.
Look this example, my friend is a civil engineer for Ministry of works, he makes 23k a month. He goes to work for 9am rides out a 3pm and barely has anything to do.
Another girl I know, same level of experience works at a private company for 13k a month, works 8am to 5pm, most Saturdays as well.
In most countries the salaries would be reversed, but here we have a private sector that takes advantage (rightfully so) of a desparate hunters who's main goal would be to land a cushy government job.
That's our problem right there, that imbalance. Any country that has a system like this is destined to fail..

I think the govt doing that first with the worst state companies, Petrotrin 1st, WASA 2nd. Some might see it as bold but financially they have no choice.
I hope we ready for the ride.
