Still payless Friday at CNMI PSS but 30% 'owed' salary is released
The Public School System was able to pay off the 30% it owed teachers and staff from two payrolls ago but no salaries came in last Friday.
During an emergency Board of Education meeting last Wednesday, board chair Janice Tenorio said she was able to secure $500,000 to pay off teachers after a meeting with Gov. Ralph DLG Torres last Tuesday.
Kimo Rosario, PSS acting director of Finance, confirmed that PSS received the funds in their account last Wednesday and used the money to pay PSS personnel the 30% that they were owed from a couple of payrolls ago, when PSS only paid its employees 70% of their wages.
A couple of PSS teachers confirmed that they received the payment last Friday in their bank accounts.
