TTUTA says members have reported backpay for 2020–2023 appearing on the government’s online payslip system. The union said on Saturday that it had received no formal payment communication from the Finance or Education ministries. Approximately $900 million had previously been allocated for the arrears; that is not confirmation that the entire sum has now been paid. Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo indicated that a statement would be made in Parliament on Wednesday. The development follows repeated union requests for a firm payment timetable.
