Public sector workers in Ghana are set to receive a 9% increase in total remuneration from January 1, 2027, following a new salary agreement between the government and Organised Labour.
The two parties have also agreed to a 10% pay increase for 2028, effective January 1, as part of efforts to determine compensation adjustments for public service employees over the next two years.
The Secretary-General of Organised Labour, Joshua Ansah, disclosed the agreement after a meeting of the Public Services Joint Standing Negotiating Committee on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.
The agreement outlines the planned salary adjustments for government employees and forms part of ongoing negotiations between the government and labour representatives over workers’ remuneration and welfare.
The proposed increases are expected to be closely monitored by public sector employees, as changes in salaries can affect household income, purchasing power and the cost of living in Ghana.
Further details on the implementation of the agreement will depend on the applicable procedures and arrangements agreed upon by the parties.
