Gov’t determines YEA operatives allowances for 4 hours work daily - Zoomlion

The management of Zoomlion Ghana Limited says it has no hand in the determination of the remuneration of employees under the Sanitation Module of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA).

According to Zoomlion, the payment of YEA operatives’ allowances is solely determined by the government/YEA which is then released to Zoomlion for onward payment to the beneficiaries.

The waste management company in a press statement dated October 3, 2024 explained that Zoomlion manages their day-to-day activities but does not control or determine the amount or timing of payments to operatives.

It said indicated that per the contract agreement, Zoomlion is responsible for managing the operatives and providing the necessary logistics they require for their work, including uniforms, brooms, and other working tools.

The press statement from Zoomlion was a reaction to concerns raised by some operatives over the payment of allowances of workers under the Sanitation Module.
