Workers Without Ghana Card Will Soon Not Be Paid

As part of Government of Ghana’s efforts to deliver speedy, secured and verified payroll services to government employees and pensioners while reducing the risk of undeserving payments or claims, the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) is collaborating with the National Identification Authority (NIA), to have a harmonized database facilitate biometric and unique identification of all workers on the government payroll.

Recommended

By this notice, all existing and prospective Government workers are to ensure they are registered with the NIA and have obtained their Identity numbers.

Please note that effective December 1, 2021, workers on the Government of Ghana payroll who have not registered with the NIA will not be paid.

Thank you.
