Salaries: SSANIP, YABATECH Chapter passes reject  IPPIS

The Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnics, (SSANIP), YABATECH Chapter has expressed dissatisfaction over the manner in which the  

Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), the Federal Government salary payment platform,  handled its members` June salaries.

The Chapter’s Chairman, Kayode Jason, expressed the dissatisfaction  in a statement made available to newsmen Tuesday in Lagos.

He said the payment of double salaries to most of the college members  and staff of other educational institutions was questionable.

Jason  added that the payment of  the  double salaries  and subsequent deduction  of extra payments  by IPPIS  was  like a trap to inflict  economic hardship on its members.

The association`s  Chairman said some members’ salaries were over-deducted ,causing initial  difficulty for  affected members to coping with  hike in transportation fares, payment of loans and meeting  other commitments

“It is worthy of note that IPPIS never came out to take responsibility for their action, leaving everyone in dilemma and  asking questions with no answers all because there was no official letter from the constituted agency to address the issue.

“The reversal process was messed up by IPPIS as deductions were made on members’ legitimate balance and led to some of our members temporarily losing their June 2023 salaries due to bank over deduction, though later reversed.

“You can imagine the trauma our members went through in the cause of this irregularity, if all IPPIS can deliver to workers is injury to our members who are only striving to endure the harsh economic environment due to removal of fuel subsidy, then we call for its scrap,” Jason said.
