GES New Retirement Directives for Staff

In a letter to all its regional directives, it said, it has identified conflicting dates of births on records of the GES records and the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).

It furthered that the GES has taken notes of rulings by CHRAJ relating to the dates of birth of some staff.

According to the GES, Teacher Unions have also raised concerns on the matter.

To help resolve the anomalies, the GES has directed that

1. The service will use the date of birth of staff in its database to retire teachers and not what they have on the records of SSNIT.
2. The Date of birth of its staff on the records of SSNIT will not be used to correct the date of birth of a GES staff in the records of the service.
