Teachers 'complain' they haven't received their salary for 2 months, what do ward leaders say?

Reporting to Tuoi Tre Online , a teacher at an elementary school in Binh Kien ward said that the salary has been delayed for 2 months now. Teachers who have questions for the principal were told to wait for a decision from the ward People's Committee.

"We have been waiting for 2 months now, while my family's main source of income is only salary, so we have difficulty making ends meet and taking care of our children," the teacher said.

This situation is happening in most schools in Binh Kien ward. A teacher at a secondary school in the ward said that he has not yet received his salary for July and August.

"We don't know the reason yet, but we hope to get paid soon to take care of our lives," said the teacher.

According to many teachers in Binh Kien ward, the delay in salary payment started when the merger and arrangement of administrative units at commune and ward levels and the dissolution of Tuy Hoa city were carried out.

Tuoi Tre Online contacted Mr. Huynh Phuc Tri - principal of Nguyen Viet Xuan Primary School, one of the schools that was reported to have not paid teachers' salaries for the past 2 months, and Mr. Tri confirmed that there has been a delay in salaries for the past 2 months.

The reason, according to Mr. Tri, is that the treasury requires a decision from the ward People's Committee to appoint a principal and an accountant in order to withdraw money and pay salaries to the staff. However, the school has not received those appointment decisions, so it cannot carry out the procedures according to legal regulations to withdraw funds for salary payments.

Mr. Tri said the above decisions were just issued a few days ago, so the school is urgently carrying out procedures to pay salaries to the school's staff and teachers as soon as possible.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Thang - Chairman of Binh Kien Ward People's Committee - also said that due to the process of local merger and consolidation, many procedures had to be carried out, so the procedures for deciding on appointing principals and school accountants were slow, leading to untimely salary payments to teachers.

Recently, the Ward People's Committee has issued these decisions, so the salary settlement for cadres and teachers in the area will be implemented soon.
