Treasury Announces Bonuses For Chiefs, Headmen, Messengers, Civil Servants

Traditional chiefs, headmen, and their messengers are set to receive bonuses this year, as the government has confirmed plans to award bonuses to all civil servants and pensioners. Normally, government workers receive their bonuses in November and December. However, this year, the bonuses will be based on performance and will be staggered over two months, ZimLive reported citing a letter from the treasury to the Public Service Commission (PSC).

In addition to civil servants, traditional chiefs, headmen, village heads, and their messengers will also receive the 13th cheque from the government’s funds. In a letter addressed to PSC secretary Rosemary Tsitsi Choruma, the secretary for finance, George Guvamatanga, said:

I write with reference to the above subject. As you are aware, government has traditionally awarded a performance reward to public service employees in the form of a thirteenth cheque (bonus) at the end of each year.

In line with the established edition and in recognition of the efforts of public service workers, government has approved a bonus award for public service employees and traditional leaders.

The approved bonus award, which is payable in the respective currencies for the public service is as follows; 100 percent bonus on pensionable emoluments in line with the Civil Service Key Scale (Basic salary, in service allowance and Administration allowance) payable in local currency, from grade B to E; and a flat US$300 from grade B to E payable in hard currency.
