Dialogue is key in the establishment of IPEC – Labour Minister

Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment, Dr Rashid Pelpuo, has stressed the importance of collaboration, fairness, and social dialogue as Ghana transitions to establish the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC). Speaking at the opening of a two-day Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) stakeholder engagement with Organised Labour in Accra, the Minister described the reforms as part of a broader effort to reshape the country’s public sector compensation system.

He emphasized that engaging Organised Labour at this stage demonstrates the government’s commitment to transparency, inclusiveness, and consensus-building in designing an institution that will shape public sector pay administration. The Minister highlighted that public sector remuneration goes beyond salaries and allowances, as it directly affects livelihoods, workplace fairness, productivity, and the overall health of the national economy.
