Damaged DepEd records delay teachers’ salaries, bonuses

THE Department of Education (DepEd) on Monday said the distribution of salaries and benefits of public school teachers in areas affected by super typhoon Yolanda [international: Haiyan] have been delayed due to damaged school records.

“Teachers’ salaries for Region 8 have been delayed because records have been destroyed by the typhoon,” Education Secretary Armin Luistro said. “Central office, however, has copies of the previous month’s payroll, which was used to recreate the November payroll.”
