Police have rejected government's offer of a nine per cent pay rise and opted to let the Industrial Court decide the matter.
Members of the Police Social and Welfare Association met on Friday and voted on the matter. They decided against the offer in a vote of 110 against.
"You had a vote of 110 persons saying they prefer the matter being completed at the Industrial Court and you had 96 persons saying that they would have preferred if the opportunity for conciliation should take place and an offer of 9% is made, for us to take it," the head of the Association, Sgt. Anand Ramesar told local media.
Last year, the Association asked for the Ministry of Finance to refer the salary negotiations to the court because they had lost confidence in the Chief Personnel Officer Stephanie Lewis.
Ramesar said, "When the matter moved to the Industrial Court, there was a recommendation from the research in terms taking inflation and other things into consideration for a 29% position."
