The Botswana Sectors for Educators Trade Union (BOSETU) says it will instruct its members to cease to work overtime after government’s memo ordering that public servants’ overtime allowance should not exceed 10% of basic salary.

“I have received several enquiries regarding payment of overtime and I wish to further clarify the issue regarding the 10% payment of overtime.

“Accounting officers should, however exercise strict control to ensure that the overall overtime expenditure does not exceed 10% of personal emoluments,” explained the permanent secretary to the President (PSP) Carter Morupisi to accounting officers on October 31, 2016.
