While teachers who served in the BSKE are still assured of their proper compensation, the Commission on Elections clarifies that the agency’s budget does not cover the teachers’ overtime pay.
Teachers who served during the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections will not be getting overtime pay, the Commission on Elections said Thursday.
“In as much as we would like to give, there is this joint circular which provides that only employees of an agency are entitled to claim overtime,” Garcia told reporters in a message. “The teachers who served as electoral board members are not employees of Comelec. Moreover, the budget provided us did not provide for such an item,” he added
In a press conference on Wednesday, ACT Chairperson Vladimer Quetua said, “teachers stayed up for more than 24 hours” on the eve of BSKE due to delays in the provision of transportation, extensive paperwork, and long queues.
