*Taxes, Deductions, and No Relief: The Harsh Reality for Golden Exotics Workers* ------------------------------------------------------------- It is alleged that *Golden Exotics Limited,* a banana farm plantation, company operating within Ghana's *free zone* , has decided to *remove* a crucial *2-hour* incentive previously *granted* to workers for meeting individual *targets* . This decision raises serious *concerns* about the *welfare* of the workers, who are already *burdened* with excessive *workloads* and inadequate *compensation* . As a free zone company, Golden Exotics Limited does not pay *taxes* to the Ghanaian *government* . However, the workers are subjected to numerous *deductions* from their already meager monthly *gross* income of *1,702.66 GHS* . These deductions include *income tax* , *SNNIT* contributions, *Providence Fund* payments, *ICU* dues, and even *canteen* fees. After all these deductions, the *take-home* pay for a *general worker* is barely enough to cover basic *necessities* such as *electricity, water, healthcare, school fees,* and *food* . The removal of the *2-hour* incentive, which was a *small* reward for completing *overloaded* targets within an *8-hour* workday, is *unacceptable* . Workers are being *pushed* to their limits, yet their compensation is being further *reduced* . This raises the critical question: Who will bear the burden of these *taxes* , *deductions* , and *essential living expenses* when the company takes *away* the *little* support workers rely on? It is *unjust* to expect workers to meet *unrealistic* targets, *pay taxes* , and cover *numerous deductions* while their *take-home pay* continues to *shrink* . This situation demands immediate *attention* and *action* to ensure *fair* treatment and adequate *compensation* for the *hardworking* individuals who keep the company *running*. *Follow/share with friends and colleagues* 👉➡️https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakVy8I4Y9lw7QGutg2m
