Hundreds of civil servants in Jigawa State are grumbling over what they termed ‘indiscriminate deductions’ from their September salaries.
The deductions, followed the record obtained from the newly-installed bio-metric machines that capture attendance at work.
The workers, who were stunned to discover that parts of their salaries had been slashed in accordance with the number of days the biometric machine recorded against them, could not hide their discontent for the system, saying the exercise was an attempt to defraud them of their legitimate means of livelihood.
Findings revealed that the civil servants had realised that some parts of their salaries were slashed when they received alerts indicating payment of their salaries, on Tuesday afternoon.
