ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro expressed concern over whether teachers will receive the overtime pay for having worked non-stop for the past 13 months.
Castro detailed, in an interview on Abante’s Balitaan at Kumustahan on Wednesday that teachers have continuously been working from June 1, 2020 up to July 10, 2021.
She also lamented the lack of vacation time for teachers, even though their work for the past school year ended on July 10, the constant stream of other school-related activities like the recent Brigada-Eskuwela prevents them from relaxing.
“Yung overtime pay ay dahil nagsimula ang teachers July 1 ng last year, so July 1 hanggang July 10 this year. So bale 13 months yung ipinasok ng teacher. Bagamat work from home ito hindi naman totoo talagang work from home, marami rin tayong mga teachers na talagang pumupunta sa eskuwelahan,” she explained.
“Nawala doon yung bakasyon ng teachers, bale nagamit ito dun sa iba’t ibang pinagagawa sa teachers. So ang hinahabol talaga ng teachers yung 70 days na overtime pay. Kung hindi man ito maibibigay ng monetary, pero mas gusto nga natin monetized ito, yung service credits man lang,” she added.
Castro also noted that despite having met with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Civil Service Commission (CSC) regarding the guidelines for the distribution of the overtime pay, in nearly two months they have not received any.
