Time: 10/12/2020 15:58:29 Read: 2,717 times   {Baghdad: Al Furat News} The Parliamentary Finance Committee revealed, on Monday, the obstacles that stand in the way of unifying the salary scale.

"The standardization of the salary scale has nothing to do with political stability in the country, and it is an arrangement for the salary scale so that justice is achieved," said Jamal Cougar, a member of the committee.

Cougar added, "If the salary scale is unified, there are a number of laws that must be changed or amended, because each ministry or institution has its own law, and therefore its salaries are different from the others."

He continued, "Employees' payrolls must be collected in one device or one institution because until now there is no database, and therefore this matter requires a proactive step by every ministry conducting a biometric procedure for its ministry so that the institution can then integrate its data within the main institution called the Civil Service Authority ".

The head of the Federal Service Council revealed earlier today, Monday, a study to prepare a unified, fair salary scale and end the phenomenon of dropout and job slack in state institutions.   LINK
