The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) wishes to remind all Government employees of Covered Entities to update the details of their Ghana Card on the Government of Ghana Payroll System.
Background
As part of additional measures to deliver a robust and efficient payroll system to Government employees, the Department has rolled out an upgraded e-Payslip platform to enable all employees to access their monthly payslips with ease.
Following the rollout of the Platform, the Department identified critical data discrepancies which prevent some employees from accessing their payslips. These discrepancies are due to National Identification Authority (NIA) numbers which were captured on the payroll system but do not correspond with the employee’s NIA records.
Required Actions
Human Resource Departments of all Covered Entities are requested to take the following actions immediately:
- Correct the NIA Number of all affected staff on the payroll system
- Submit the employee’s application for correction/insertion of NIA Number, posting of transfer letter, and a clear print copy of the Ghana Card to the CAGD
The full list of affected employees currently flagged as having “no NIA” details has been sent to the corporate emails of the Covered Entities for their necessary action.
Important Deadline
Employees without verified NIA details will have their salaries suspended effective 15th March 2026. This measure is a prerequisite for an upcoming nationwide employee re-verification exercise.
