Government has warned teachers who have not been reporting
for work that they will have their salaries deducted. The warning came after a
realisation that there were some teachers who have not been reporting for work
in different parts of the country.
In a statement today, Public Service Commission (PSC)
chairman, Dr Vincent Hungwe said discussions between Government and the Apex
Council on the improvement of conditions of service for civil servants
were continuing in the context of the
National Joint Negotiating Council.
He said the Apex Council had not declared a strike nor
declared a deadlock in the negotiations.
“The commission has been made aware of isolated cases of
abscondment by a minority of teachers at specific schools across some districts
and provinces of the country. Accordingly and in keeping with the applicable
regulations, the commission advises members that unauthorised non-attendance at
workstations will result in corresponding deductions from the salaries of the
offending individuals on the basis of the principle “No Work, No pay,” he said.
“Incidents in any form of intimidation or coercion to
withdraw labour should be reported to law enforcement authorities,” he said.
Dr Hungwe applauded civil servants who had continued to
report for work.
