This study examined prompt payment of salaries and fringe benefits as determinants of teachers productivity in public Secondary Schools of Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria. Two purposes of the study were stated and converted into two research questions and statements of hypotheses. Literature review was carried out based on the variables understudy and the survey research design was used in the study. The method of data collection was a 20items questionnaire on the four point modified rating scale. A sample of 116 respondents was used in the study and the reliability index of the instrument was .80 using the Cronbach Alpha Reliability method. The statistical tool for data analysis was the simple linear regression at .05 level of significance. The result of the study showed that prompt payment of salaries does not significantly predict teachers productivity, and that there is a significant prediction of fringe benefits on teachers’ productivity. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the government in order to boost the morale and performance of teachers should ensure regular payment of fringe benefits as it has been found as a factor influencing their job productivity.
