The Department of Education is operating outside of the Fincorp Haus for the fifth week this week while waiting for the Departments of Finance and Treasury to settle rental arrears for the building.
As a result, we have scaled down on all operations including payroll services.
Teachers are now informed that the Payroll Division will not deal with any outstanding or new queries regarding their salaries as well as processing of new loans from financial companies from the temporary office setup.
We will only ensure that teachers and public servants are maintained on the payroll.
Payroll officers need to refer to hard copies of teachers documents in order to address their queries and these documents are all locked up in Fincorp Haus.
We are now asking for teachers’ understanding and patience until the rental arrears are sorted out and we move back to Fincorp Haus where we can be able to access their files and serve them.
