Simataa clarifies PSC, RC arbitration matter
The secretary to Cabinet, George Simataa, has clarified that the matter between the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the Regrading Committee (RC) at the Labour Commission (LC) remains sub-judice.
Responding to a notice in a local newspaper inviting civil servants who were adversely affected by the Job Evaluation and Grading (JEG) to a meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Simataa said the RC, as the litigant, launched an appeal to the LC's ruling on the matter on 22 January 2018.
“The JEG System was developed and approved by the Prime Minister on the recommendations of the Public Service Commission and was implemented on 01 April 2013,” Simaata said in a statement.
“The litigant, 'the so-called Regrading Committee' instituted proceedings legal at LC challenging the regrading outcome.”
The conciliation process was started, but was however unsuccessful and the matter went to an arbitration hearing that was held on 27 November 2017, resulting in the litigants' application being dismissed by the LC, he added.
“The litigant thereafter filed a notice of appeal to court on 22 January 2018 and the matter remains sub-judice,” the statement concludes. – Nampa
