Govt workers accuse OPM of secrecy

A group of disgruntled civil servants has accused the office of the prime minister (OPM) of conducting an underhanded salary regrading process.

Adeline Black, the chairperson of the ''re-grading committee'', said staff only learned of the re-grading process “in the corridors” and had received no formal notification from the OPM.

According to Black, at least 21 job categories across government ministries have been affected by the re-grading, which has reportedly left some staff worse off than before.

According to Black it appears as if the government is unwilling to answer questions about how the re-grading was done and which criteria were used.
