Mr
Bede Opara, President General, Senior Staff Association of Electricity and
Allied Companies (SSAEAC), on Tuesday said that PHCN workers’ severance package
should be based on their 2012 salary scale.
Opara
said that it would be wrong to base the severance package of the workers on the
2010 salary structure.
He
told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, that the Federal Government
should honour a recommendation that the workers’ payoff should be on current
salary structure.
NAN
recalls that the Federal Government set up an Implementation Committee on March
19 to recommend appropriate terminal benefits of the workers.
The
committee is headed by the Permanent Secretary of the Power Ministry, Mr
Godknows Igali.
“It
will be wrong to use the 2010 salary structure which was operational then to
pay off any worker in 2013.
“Since
the committee, I believe, has been able to determine the correct number of PHCN
workers affected by the mass retrenchment, the staff must get their dues.
“The
measures to be adopted to pay the workers must not deviate from what is proper”,
he said.
