Fourteen employees of the Sugar Industry Labour Welfare Fund Committee (SILWFC)
are set to receive a 20 percent salary hike after a recent job evaluation exercise.
According to the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU), the long overdue evaluations took place between September and November.
GAWU said that as a result, on Thursday, it signed an agreement with the SILWFC at the latter’s headquarters in Kingston.
The agreement included the results of the job evaluation exercise and a salary increase for 2014, “both accounting for an overall salary increase averaging 20 percent to each employee.”
Both parties also agreed to higher meal and shoe allowances and an enhanced end-of-year bonus to each employee.
The agreement was signed by First Lady, Deolatchmee Ramotar, Jairam Petam, Kenneth Joseph and Carvil Duncan representing SILWFC, and by Komal Chand, Aslim Singh, Amla Persaud and Mitra Devi Ali from GAWU.
It was countersigned by the Deputy Chief Labour Officer, Nadia Samuels.
SILWFC is a legal entity which provides sugar workers with interest-free house and home-repair loans within stipulated ceilings. It is also mandated to assist in the maintenance of proper internal roads and sanitation, in communities where sugar workers reside.
