To clear out issues regarding unpaid salaries of Precinct Count Optical Scanner Technicians, PCOS Supervisors and Consolidation Canvassing System (CCS) Technicians who religiously served during the May 2010 elections, the SMARTMATIC-TIM company issued a Memorandum stating any unsettled amount will be rightfully paid, May 8.
Said memo has been circulated in response to the clamor of numerous PCOS Technicians who have posted their inquiry in some networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, Friendster and the like of which case, called the attention of nation's top TV networks like GMA and ABS-CBN.
According to some PCOS Technicians, around 20% of the promised salary has been given to them and the remaining amount is still unsettled.
The Manila Resource Development Corporation, one among the contracted agencies of SMARTMATIC-TIM, verbally told Technicians as well as Supervisors during contract signing that the breakdown of salary/honoraria which they could receive will be as follows:
Primary PCOS Supervisor: PHP8,900.00
Back-up PCOS Supervisor: PHP3,500.00
Primary PCOS Technician: PHP6,400.00
Back-up PCOS Technician: PHP2,500.00
CCS Technician: PHP7,200.00
In the memorandum just circulated, it stated that a copy of the contract from agency concerned should be presented in claiming unsettled salaries, however, said agencies did not give any copy of the signed contract to Technicians as well as Supervisors.
Editor's Note: The Memo has been forwarded to me by Mam Myrna. - GMR
