Pay teachers deleted from the payroll by Sept 15 or – Teacher unions fume
The back and forth with teachers whose names have been deleted as Ghost names may end soon as the teacher unions have given the government up to 15th September to deal with the issues causing delays and settle the arrears owed affected teacher numbering 14,345. Teachers’ names deleted from the payroll meant that they were not worth any pay although they were working.
This was contained in a press release from the unions sighted by edulearnweb.com. The Teacher Unions have disclosed that GNAT, NAGRAT, and CCT-GH cannot and will not sit by for innocent and hardworking Teachers to be wrongly denied their legitimate salaries and compensation.
The unions said they could not comprehend why the Audit Service would not cross-check with the appropriate public institutions before going ahead to delete the names of teachers who were at the post and working.
The unions lamented that the action has caused numberable hardship to affected teachers whose salaries have been withheld for the last three months.

Below is the full press release on teachers deleted from the payroll
The Leadership of the Teacher Unions will want to show our displeasure and unhappiness to the unacceptable development where over fourteen thousand three hundred and forty-five (14,345) Teachers and Workers in the Ghana Education Service have had their names deleted from the payroll and have not been paid their salaries for the past three (3) months, though evidence show that these Teachers are at post and have been working.
The unacceptable situation has come about as a result of a list developed and sent to the Controller and Accountant General Department (CAGD) by the Audit Service with the explanation that the affected Teachers were not at post and are deemed as “ghost” Teachers.
We will want to indicate our indignation to the modus operandi of the Audit Service in declaring Public Sector Workers as “Ghosts” without first resorting to the various service organizations for cross-checking and verification.
A simple reference to the various Heads of Institutions of the affected GES workers to authenticate or otherwise the presence of the worker could have avoided the embarrassment and pain caused these hard-working Teachers who are being made to go through pain they do not deserve.
After several representation on the matter to the management of the GES, the leadership of the Unions were promised that the abnormally have been identified and that measures are far advanced to ensure that the affected Teachers are paid.
Unfortunately, the affected Teachers have not been paid their salaries, even for the month of August.
The leadership and the entire membership of the Teacher Unions i.e. GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT-GH cannot and will not sit by for innocent and hardworking Teachers to be wrongly denied their legitimate salaries and compensation.
We hereby call on the Audit Service to immediately withdraw that list of Names given to the Controller and Accountant General Department and also ask the Ghana Education Sewice to immediately direct the payment of the salaries and arrears that has accrued to the affected Teachers.
We call on the management of the Ghana Education Service to ensure that the Teachers are paid without delay.
The leadership of the Teacher Unions, GNAT, NAGRAT and CCT-GH is giving a 15 th September, 2020 ultimatum for the affected Teachers to be paid or we have no other alternative than to advice ourselves.
