The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) of Ghana has introduced a new and improved e-Payslip portal, officially known as GOG Employee PayServices. With the migration from the old platform gogpayslip.com to gogepayservices.com, government employees are now required to reset their accounts or complete first-time registration through the password reset process.
This guide provides a complete, step-by-step explanation of how to reset your CAGD e-Payslip account password, based entirely on official CAGD tutorial videos, while also addressing first-time users who must register using the same procedure.
