Public-sector workers would be well advised to avoid running out and making new spending plans, despite a recent court ruling ordering the Government to pay members of the Island Special Constabulary Force (ISCF) outstanding wages and fringe benefits.
Yesterday, the Government declared the ruling made no impact on its stance that it would not pay $8 billion in outstanding public sector wages and fringe benefits any time soon.
&quot;What the court has said is very much in line with what the Government's position is,&quot; Finance Minister Audley Shaw told journalists during yesterday's post-Cabinet media briefing at Jamaica House. &quot;We have never resiled from stating publicly and acknowledging the debt.&quot; He added: &quot;What we have not been able to say is when we will pay it, and we cannot pay within this fiscal year.&quot;
The finance minister announced plans to meet with the Jamaica Confederation of Trade Unions to stress the Government's unchanged stance.
&quot;The Government's position remains the same. We do not have the money,&quot; Shaw said.
