Albion/Port Mourant estate workers to get tax-free extra day’s pay

Workers of the Albion/Port Mourant Estate will be given an additional tax-free day’s pay according to a release from the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GUYSUCO).

In a release on Friday, the company confirmed that the estate, for a second consecutive week, surpassed its sugar production target, exceeding its last target by 2%.

“As a result of this achievement, qualified employees who worked 80% or more days available for that week will benefit from an additional tax-free day’s pay,” the Estate Manager Albion Estate (ag) Balraj Dhanraj said.

“The estate has met all of the operating parameters and the tonnes cane to tonnes sugar ratio (Tc/TS) for the week is 11.46 versus the budgeted 12.8 Tc/Ts. This is considered a plus for the estate in achieving the target, since we are utilizing less cane to produce more sugar,” Dhanraj said.

He added that despite the three days of inclement weather the past week, workers’ motivation remained high after the previous week’s achievement of 13.5%.

The Executive Management congratulates the management and workers of Albion/PortMourant on their success, and urges all the estates to continue striving to surpass their weekly production targets.
