PHILIPSBURG--Government has requested a review (herkeuringen) of the status of ghost civil servants (civil servants who don't show up to work for extended periods).
This was revealed in answers provided to Members of Parliament (MPs) during Monday's continuation of the meeting of the Central Committee of Parliament on the draft 2012 budget.
In response to questions posed by National Alliance (NA) leader MP William Marlin on the success of government's policy as it relates to ghost civil servants, government said there is a 'no work, no pay' policy which allows the stopping of a person's salary payment should they not report to work.
"This generally works, as employees return to work as soon as they notice that they have not been paid. The approach to ghost civil servants has not been successful in the past, as these people were notified as soon as actions were being undertaken to deal with their absence, resulting in their sudden return to work for short periods after which they returned to ghost status," government said in its response.
"At this point, government has requested 'herkeuringen' for a number of these civil servants as most of them have alcohol, drug or other social or medical problems."
