The deductions of 2,5 percent of gross salary are being done on a voluntary basis.
Members will begin accessing short- to medium-term loans at a nominal rate of 10 percent per annum after contributing for three months.
Public Service Commission Secretary Jonathan Wutawunashe said members will now register first as opposed to the initial option which advocated deductions first.
“We have directed ministries to have their members fill in the forms and the SSB will then deduct the funds after the list has been compiled. Initially, we had proposed to have the money deducted and opt out later. data-full-width= >“However, we are now saying they should register by filling in forms, which we think will take time. So we have given members until the end of February and early March, with deductions set to begin in March.”

AT LEAST 10 000 suspected ghost workers have been struck off the government payroll after a biometric exercise that was carried out with the assistance of the World Bank.
According to state media, Public Service Commission (PSC) head of human capital development and management, Moses Mhike, said the exercise of flushing out ghost workers was ongoing.
“Ghost workers are no longer an issue. We have managed to account for those on the Salary Service Bureau (SSB),” Mhike said while speaking at a workshop for the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Public Service Labour and Social Welfare, the PSC and the Apex Council grouping staff associations.
