Registration onto the E-Payslip system can only be done using a code to be obtained from heads of department or management Units. CAGD has therefore issued these codes to responsible officers of the Institutions.

However, reports reaching CAGD suggests that unauthorized people have gained access to the codes and are selling the codes to staff who wish to register onto the system.

By this statement the Controller & Accountant General wishes to state unequivocally that the REGISTRATION CODES ARE NOT FOR SALE and anyone demanding payment for issuing of the codes should be reported to the Head of Department or the nearest police station or to the Public Relations Office of the CAGD, Head office on telephone number 0303931501.
