At work, employees give it their all to achieve the goals they have set for themselves and the business.
While some people’s take-home pay is occasionally meager, others do be paid a respectable sum of money at the end of the month.
According to Kwaku Adu Aninkorah, the Chief Executive Officer of the Mckeown Group of Companies, firms are unable to pay their employees well because of an unorganized structure at work.
He pointed out that staff has room to become corrupt because of the meager salary they receive.
Speaking on Luv FM, he stressed that given the high cost of products and services on the market and the rise in transportation costs, employees who earn less than GH 500 run a significant danger of finding questionable ways to earn additional money from the company.
He remarked, “The system is not well-structured, which prevents businesses from paying employees effectively. Who verifies me as a private individual to ensure I record each sale I make? The internal revenue agents approach me with the intention of taking something from me. Whether or whether everything is recorded, I am ultimately willing to conduct business with the person who examines my books.
“Look at the rate at which the prices of goods and services are going up. If the person is taking 200 or 300 cedis, what do you expect? The person will want to find a way of filling the gap. This is because transport fares and the cost of food have gone up,” the businessman stated.
Mr Aninkorah stated that the negative attitude of workers due to lack of motivation leads to both thievery and the collapse of businesses.
He however noted that the lack of proper structures at the workplace, including record keeping and tax payment, makes it difficult to report the theft to the police, myjoyonline reported.
