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?

Have staff explored formal union representation to press management for clear payment timelines?

It's interesting that NiMet management blames partner organisations, yet staff have waited months without clear accountability or transparent updates on promised allowances.

I'm not fully convinced the partner organisations are solely responsible; internal budgeting issues at NiMet could also be a major factor here.

Perhaps annual independent audits and a joint staff-management review panel could help ensure promised allowances and wages get disbursed on schedule.
