The Fair Wages and Salary Commission (FWSC) has pledged to compensate those who provide information on payroll discrepancies in public sector organizations.
Last month, the Commission announced that, in compliance with the Act that created it, it will start a national payroll monitoring operation.
The initiative, according to the Commission’s chief executive Ben Arthur, would clean up the public sector payroll and help find gaps and inequities in the benefits and allowances of public sector employees.
“This exercise is not a joke, it is a very serious exercise. If you know, you are not deserving of what you are taking, advise yourself accordingly.
“If in our operation, we find out people are receiving unearned salaries we will liaise with the appropriate authorities to take the necessary action,” he said.

The Director General of the Internal Audit Agency Dr Eric Oduro Sae is pledging support for the exercise.
“There are issues of missing names, unknown names people with different dates of birth and people using other people’s cars for car maintenance allowance among others.
“Sections 96 and 97 are clear that if you earn an unearned salary or you contravene the Public financial management Act by way of getting government money into your account illegally, you can be sanctioned,” he stated.
On Monday, the Internal Audit Agency (IAA) launched a national campaign to clean up the nation’s payroll system .
The action aims to cleanse the excessively bloated payroll structure of all public sector organizations.
