-


Smart Zambia National Coordinator, Martine Mulenga has disclosed that over 169,000 out of the 209,000 civil servants across the country have been captured under Electronic pay slips as of December 2017.

Dr. Mulenga says this leaves about 60,000 civil servants who are yet to be put on Electronic pay slips.

He says civil servants in rural areas who have not been put on Electronic pay slips will be added once the affected districts are computerized during phase two.

Government plans to save about US$7.2 million per year on printing pay slips by introducing electronic pay slips.

Last year Dr. Mulenga announced that government was in the process of introducing electronic pay slips for public service workers.

He disclosed that government spends about 7.2 million dollars per year on printing pay slips.

Dr. Mulenga also revealed that the contractual obligations with the suppliers for paper are ending this August, and that the contract will not be renewed in view of the introduction of electronic pay slips.

He says government had done all the quality tests and has distributed the Memo requesting all government workers to submit their email addresses where their pay slips will be sent electronically.
