Govt interns’ wages delayed anew

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has once again failed to pay on time the wages of its beneficiaries to the Government Internship Program (GIP) assigned at the Dumaguete City local government unit. 

This is not the first time that the delayed payment in wages has happened as previously, the DOLE also took months before these could be released due to government processes.

According to DOLE provincial labor officer Maritess Mercado, the delay usually takes place when not all of the documents and other requirements such as daily time records of the government interns are incomplete when submitted to their office for payroll processing.

One of the government interns at City Hall who asked not to be named said they have not received wages for the 2nd half of September and the months of October and November.

Prior to this, their salaries for the previous months were also overdue.

Mercado quoted Joanna Reyes, the provincial DOLE’s GIP assistant focal person, that the scheduled pay out for the Dumaguete GIPs is on December 11.

“Daghan man gud naka line up na sweldohan (there are many waiting in line for wage payment),” she said.

The GIPs in Dumaguete have expressed frustration that the DOLE has not paid them on time for services rendered.

Under the GIP, the beneficiaries are given a six-month job with a daily wage of 70 percent of the daily wage minimum of the area assigned.

In Dumaguete City, the daily wage is pegged at Php 310.

The GIP in this capital will end this month. (Judy Flores Partlow/PNA)
