City issued overtime work for CTO employees

GENERAL SANTOS CITY - As a result of the recent decision of the court to issue an extension of the Temporary Restraining Order(TRO) continuing the function of City Treasurer's Office OIC Rodilon Lacap as

city treasurer, City Mayor Ronnel Rivera authorized front-liner workers of the said office to render overtime services with pay to make up for the 2 days that the office activities were suspended.

"In the exigency of service, the workers will render overtime services with pay on June 21 and 28, 2014 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm to ensure delivery of service to customers are promptly catered and delivered beyond office hours," the memo states.

A "No Transaction" sign was put up 2 days ago at the City Treasurer's Office declaring suspension of work due to a row wherein the present administration is questioning the appointment of Atty Jose Gonzales as the new city treasurer.

Generally, the memo was issued to safeguard and protect the interest of the government, and all collections acquired from business permits, licenses and other official transactions properly accounted for at the end of the day.(C. Sulit/CPIO)
