[Egypt] Payroll system for administrative authorities to be digitalised by end of year

The Egyptian Ministry of Finance has made a commitment to accelerate the application of the digitalisation process for preparing and managing salaries and benefits of employees working for the state’s administrative authorities by the end of 2022, Zawya reports.

Egypt’s finance minister Mohamed Maait announced the news in a statement on May 10.

The ministry will reportedly speed up the process through the Payroll system at the units of the state’s administrative body, public services and economic authorities, and local administration, Minister Maait added.

He said the government is looking to achieve electronic integration in managing salaries and dues of employees in the country through the Payroll system with the Government Financial Management Information System (GFMIS) and the e-payment system GPS.

In addition, the minister said that the new system would offer new guarantees for employees in Egypt and would unify the procedures for calculating deductions.

The application of the digital system has already begun at the authorities set to be moved to the New Administrative Capital, he added.

This step forms part of the directives of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to reinforce digital transformation and achieve financial inclusion in line with Egypt Vision 2030, Minister Maait said.
