NiMet Staff Decry Salary Arrears and Unfulfilled Pay Upgrade
NiMet employees say they have been owed basic wages for several months in 2019 and 2024. Furniture and subsistence allowances promised for 2025 and since May 2026 remain largely unpaid. The agency blames partner organisations for withholding funds. Meanwhile, staff rely on loans just to cover rent, transport and school fees. A promised upgrade to NAMA’s salary structure due by mid-2026 still hasn’t materialised. Workers warn that those who provide essential weather forecasts for aviation face financial hardship and stress. Many praise the aviation minister’s approvals but lament delays in execution. What concrete steps could ensure NiMet staff receive their entitlements on time?
