With the promise of more unrest, Prime Minister Andrew Holness, is imploring unions representing public-sector employees to work with the Government as the Administration moves to restructure the compensation system to make it more equitable.

The Prime Minister noted that while vigorous discussions are anticipated during the reclassification exercise, negotiations can be undertaken amicably.

The public-sector compensation review began in April and is intended to overhaul the structure of salaries and other emoluments in the public service.

This exercise will simplify the current complicated 325 salary scales and eliminate most of the 185 allowances.
