Panaji: Even as a 400-strange multi-tasking staff employed at Goa Medical College (GMC) during the covid-19-19 wave peak has not received their salary, the Directorate of the account has placed the ball in the GMC court.
On Friday, the hospital administration filed a five-month combined bill to the Directorate, which in turn sent back a request regarding several bills.
They will not be cleaned until GMC answers this question.
“No faster than we receive a salary bill on Friday, we signal the GMC administration about the questions we have about certain bills.
Saturday and Sunday are holidays.
On Tuesday, we wrote to GMC,” said Director of the Dilip Humraskar account.
Toi has reported on his Wednesday edition how staff have not been paid, force some of them to beg from others to meet their daily costs.
The GMC administration director, said that the bill was handed over to the Directorate “Before Ganesh Chaturthi”.
He said GMC expected staff to receive their salaries for the festival.
Now, even when two departments are involved in ping-pong, 400-strange staff remain unpaid, without clarity when they will get the money obtained with difficulty.
“It depends on them (GMC),” said Humraskar.
“As soon as the GMC response to our question is accepted, we will delete the bill.
We are also concerned about the staff salary.
I am very special that the salary bill does not continue to be delayed.” Humraskar said it was impossible to delete other bills (for which query had not been raised).
“When a hundred or more salary bills are handed together, and there are even three to four bills, they cannot be divided,” he said.
The multi-tasking staff employed primarily to carry out Covid’s tasks during the April-May period, when the country was among the worst devastated places in the world, with a level of lifelike to reach 50%.
Even without their salary, workers continue to work in Covid wards.
Most of the staff rented originated from the remote part of America, and from poor families.
They said that they were attached to their work in the hope that their services would be continued because they worked for the establishment of the government, even though their work was contract.
