The Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) says it remains committed to making sure that employees who are leaving the public service are paid out on time.  It was responding to a critical report by the Public Service Commission (PSC) on pension pay-outs.  

The DPSA said failure by any department to timeously complete and submit all the documents that were required to process the pension pay-outs of employees was unacceptable.  “Every government department is expected to timeously manage the process that leads to an employee exiting employment and ensuring that the Government Employee Pension Fund (GEPF) is provided with all the correctly filled documents,” said DPSA Director-General Mashwahle Diphofa..  Employees who are struggling to receive their pensions pay-outs are advised to consult their individual departments to check if their documents have been submitted to the Government Pensions Administration Agency, as per the requisite timeframes.
