Prime Minister Gaston Browne has confirmed that retroactive payments are now rolling out to public sector workers.
As a result, many employees can expect funds to reach their accounts within days.

Speaking to State media, the Prime Minister shared the update on government payroll progress.
Importantly, he said the Treasury Department has already begun processing payments.
Therefore, workers covered under the 2018 to 2023 contract period should see movement quickly.

According to Browne, this payout represents the third retroactive payment under the agreement.
Moreover, he described the process as active and well organized.
He added that most current employees should receive payments by tomorrow.

“Payments will commence today and should be completed by tomorrow,” Browne stated.
Consequently, workers still in active service should not face delays.

In addition, the Prime Minister addressed former public sector workers.
He explained that those who resigned or retired remain eligible.
Therefore, separated employees should receive outstanding sums by Friday.

Browne also clarified the scope of the payments.
Notably, he said all categories of workers are included.
These include established staff and non-established staff.
They also include weekly paid and monthly paid employees.

Furthermore, he emphasized fairness across the public service.
According to him, no eligible group will be left out.
This assurance, he said, reflects the government’s commitment to workers.

At the same time, Browne confirmed that this payment closes the last negotiating period.
As such, the government considers the 2018–2023 agreement fully settled.
However, he looked ahead to the next phase of negotiations.

Going forward, Browne said the government plans to stay current on payments.
In other words, future wage adjustments should not face similar delays.
He stressed that timely payments remain a key priority.

Additionally, the Prime Minister highlighted responsible financial management.
He said careful planning allowed the Treasury to meet its obligations.
Therefore, the government remains confident in its fiscal position.

Overall, the announcement brings relief to thousands of workers.
It also signals closure after years of negotiations.
For now, public sector employees await confirmation of deposits.
