The Treasury Department has confirmed that retroactive salary payments have been issued to eligible public sector workers across a wide range of ministries, departments, and statutory offices — but a number of government employees say they have yet to receive their money.
According to Antigua Observer, the update follows weeks of anticipation among public servants, many of whom had been waiting on the overdue payments.
While the Treasury's statement suggests the disbursement process is underway, the gap between the official position and the experience of some workers on the ground has raised concerns. Several public servants have indicated they remain without the funds they were expecting, despite the department's assurances that payments have gone out to eligible recipients.
The discrepancy has left some employees uncertain about when — or whether — they will receive their outstanding back pay. It is unclear at this time how many workers are still awaiting payment or which specific departments or offices may be affected by the delays.
