The National Service Authority (NSA) has unveiled a new posting and management system designed to automate allowance payments and eliminate ghost names from the national service payroll.
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, October 7, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Authority, Ruth Dela Seddoh, said the new system introduces end-to-end automation, from posting to allowance processing, to ensure only verified personnel are paid.
Beyond payroll reforms, the new system features an intelligent posting algorithm that automatically matches personnel to institutions based on qualifications, regional preferences, and institutional needs.
The payroll is automatically generated from verified and appraised personnel data, ensuring that only eligible and validated service personnel receive their allowances.
The system checks, cross-checks, and confirms all records before processing payments,” she explained.
According to her, the upgraded digital platform integrates directly with Ghana’s national identification database to verify personnel identities and ages against tertiary institution records, effectively eliminating ghost names and duplicate entries.
