This increment takes effect from January, 2024. This base pay will increase again to 25% from July, 2024.

How To Calculate Your New Base Pay.

The 23% increment is being calculated on the base pay. Base salary of newly employed GES teachers is ¢3,100.34

Your new base pay will be ¢3,100.34 plus 23% = ¢3,100.34 + 713.0782= ¢3813.42

That is, Gross pay = base pay+ retention premium. But, retention premium will be = 15% of the new base pay ( ¢3813.42).

Retention premium= ¢3813.42 × 15%= ¢572.013

Hence, New Gross pay= New base pay + new retention premium= ¢3813.42+ 572.013= ¢4385.433

Therefore, your new gross pay will be 4385.433 effectively January 2024.
