IN DUMAGUETE Appointments of 458 casual plantilla workers approved BY JUANCHO GALLARDE Casual plantilla workers of Dumaguete City have not received their salaries since the last pay day on October 15 because of non-accreditation by the Civil Service Commission. Dumaguete City Human Resource officer, Ruperto Tenorio Jr., said his office received only yesterday the approved appointments of more than 458 casual plantilla workers and processing of their salaries is being fast-tracked. The delay was allegedly due to the processing of documents for the renewal of their three-month contracts, while some failed to submit complete documents like the mayor’s appointment, personal data sheets, certifications of availability of funds and proof of essentiability. Tenorio denied insinuations that his office is sitting on its job, and said all requirements have been complied with. Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria confirmed that he had just signed checks for the salaries of casual plantilla employees and job orders. Reports said their salaries will be paid on Monday, because October 24 is a non-working holiday in Dumaguete and Negros Oriental due to the Buglasan Festivities.*JG JP
