For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ Earlier in the year, it was announced that the government will begin making moves to incorporate the over five thousand teachers into the SmartStream payroll system. The Ministry of Finance planned to fully make the incorporation by October 2018, but there have been certain setbacks according to Financial Secretary Joseph Waight. The ministry is aiming for December to complete the transfer of data and have teachers fully enrolled in the SmartStream system. This means that teachers will no longer be paid through the various church-state managements, giving the ministry full control. COLA had warned the teachers that the new system will put teachers directly in the firing line when it came to moves to organize industrial action, leaving them vulnerable to salary deductions. But according to the Financial Secretary, the move is being made for the sake of efficiency.
