Osun Govt Adopts Modulated Salary Structure to Clear Arrears, Says Commissioner

Osun State government has said it adopted a modulated salary structure to systematically clear the backlog of unpaid salaries and ensured that the government continues to pay salaries as and when due.

Commissioner for Finance, Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, who disclosed this to Thisday correspondent, explained that with the modulated salary, workers on levels one to seven, who constitute 67 per cent of workforce, were paid full salaries, while those on grade levels eight to 12, 25 per cent of workforce, receive 75 per cent of their salaries.

Oyebamiji added that workers on grade levels 13 to 17, a mere 8 per cent of workforce, as well as all political appointees, received 50 per cent of their salaries.

Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, though unhappy to pay the modulated salary to the workers, said the state was compelled by its financial reality to adopt it to tackle the menace of irregular payment of salaries.
