SEO Title: Bank of Ghana Places Recalled Staff on Extended Probation
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has placed all recently recalled staff—whose appointments were previously terminated—on extended probation, reliable sources have confirmed.
This decision marks a major shift from the earlier plan by the Central Bank to reinstate only a select number of staff based on operational demands and skills alignment.
Instead, the Bank is giving all affected individuals a second opportunity, subject to close performance monitoring.
“This is well within the Bank’s authority,” a source noted. “The Central Bank can re-engage terminated staff if their skills are deemed essential or if circumstances justify it.”
Insiders explain that most of the recalled staff possess specialized skill sets the Bank currently needs, which influenced the broader reinstatement strategy.
According to Maxbusiness, the recalled employees were re-engaged on June 26, 2025, and are expected to resume duties next week.
The Bank of Ghana also clarified that such re-engagement decisions are typically case-specific, based on the circumstances of termination and internal workforce demands.
On June 19, 2025, the Bank terminated the employment of 97 staff members hired after December 7, 2024, citing unsatisfactory performance during their probation period.
Affected individuals received written notice indicating their appointments would not be confirmed. The decision followed an internal probation review, which also revealed procedural lapses in some recruitment cases.
The Bank emphasized that over half of the recruits had their appointments confirmed after passing all required assessments. Officials maintained that the terminations complied fully with employment contract provisions, which stated that confirmation would depend on performance during the six-month probation period.
BoG has described the entire process as part of routine HR operations, not a targeted action against any group within the institution.
