The Controller and Accountant General's Department's (CAGD) Epayslip portal is more than just a place to view your salary slip when applying for a loan. It's a vital tool for every government worker in Ghana to maintain financial oversight and catch potential issues early. While many of us might log in sporadically, establishing a consistent monthly check routine can save you from headaches and ensure your hard-earned money is accurately accounted for.

Think of this as your quick monthly financial health check-up. Here's what you should scrutinize on the Epayslip Portal every month:

1. The Essential Payslip Deep Dive

Upon logging into your portal, don't just skim your payslip. Give it a thorough once-over:

Your Rank and Responsibility Allowance: Confirm your current GRADE (e.g., Principal Superintendent) and any responsibility allowances (like HOD, House Master, Form Master, Chaplain) are correctly reflected. Don't assume a change will automatically show up in your salary. Early detection allows for quicker resolution.
Management Unit and Cost Centre: Verify your current place of work (Management Unit) is accurate. If you've been transferred and haven't been validated at your new location, your salary payments could be disrupted. Double-check your COST CENTRE as well.
Level and Point Progression: Track your LEVEL (e.g., SS.PSH17) and POINT progression. These should generally increase over time. If your point stagnates or, worse, decreases, it's a red flag worth investigating. Note your SCALE TYPE (e.g., SS) for reference.
Single Spine Salary and Allowances: Ensure your base salary and all entitled allowances are present and haven't unexpectedly reduced.
Income Tax Scrutiny: Keep an eye on your Income Tax deductions. A sudden, significant increase warrants investigation.
Deduction Vigilance: Carefully review all deductions. If you have loan repayments deducted at source, monitor them to prevent over-deductions or the appearance of unauthorized new deductions.
The Bottom Line: Finally, check your Total Gross Salary, total deductions, and the resulting Net Paid figure to your bank account. Does it align with your expectations?
Tax Relief; Tax Relief when applied for is paid for a period of 12 months. If it's not being paid contact CAGD

2. Investigating Potential Wrongful Deductions

Don't just rely on your payslip. Actively check the "Wrongful Deductions" section:

Month-by-Month Comparison: Select the specific month (e.g., April or May 2025) and year, then generate the report. Compare the deductions listed here with those on your payslip. Any discrepancies? This is where you can file a formal complaint directly through the system if you suspect an over-deduction.

3. Mandate Monitoring: Staying in Control

The "Generate Mandate" section requires your attention:

Used vs. Unused Mandates: Review all generated mandates, whether used or not. Confirm the institution that utilized any mandate and ensure you authorized it.
Suspicious Activity: If you spot a newly generated mandate that you didn't initiate, even if it's marked as unused, take immediate action. Change your password to a strong, unique one immediately.
Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Sometimes, unauthorized actions can stem from those around you. Stay vigilant.
Unsolicited Subscriptions: If you notice deductions or generated mandates for insurance or other services you never subscribed to, report it immediately.

4. Your Contact Information: A Critical Check

Phone Number Verification: While changing your phone number isn't straightforward, make it a monthly habit to confirm that the number listed in your profile is indeed yours.

A Word of Caution: Never, under any circumstances, use a friend's, family member's (including your spouse or child's) details to create your payslip. This can lead to serious complications.

5. Association Integrity: Protecting Your Benefits

Navigate to the "Change Association" section:

Confirm Your Affiliation: Even if your payslip shows your association, this area allows you to monitor if any unauthorized process has been initiated to change your current association.
Long-Term Benefits: Remember that many associations base loan eligibility and amounts on your years of membership and contributions. Switching associations can significantly impact your future access to these benefits.

6. Password Prudence: Your First Line of Defense

Regular Updates: While your password alone can't directly harm you, it's wise to change it periodically, especially if you suspect someone else might have access. Ensure you keep your password confidential.

The Power of Proactive Monitoring

This simple monthly routine on your GOG Epaylsip portal isn't just about checking your salary. It's about taking control of your financial well-being, identifying errors early, and safeguarding yourself against unauthorized activities. By dedicating a few minutes each month to these checks, you can save yourself significant time, stress, and potential financial losses down the line.

7. Picture Validation: Ensuring Secure Transactions

Visual Confirmation: Your validated picture is often required for generating mandate forms for loans and other important transactions. Take a quick glance to ensure the displayed picture is indeed yours.

Make this monthly Epayslip portal check a non-negotiable part of your routine. Your financial peace of mind is worth it!
