Overtime pay for teachers sought over extended school year

(JANSEN ROMERO / MANILA BULLETIN)
Castro called on the Department of Education (DepEd) to clarify the teachers’ Proportional Vacation Pay for School Year 2020-2021 and issue a memorandum for its implementation.
“Our public school teachers would have been working for almost 13 months without an official summer break or vacation. Further, public school teachers do not have sick and vacation benefits unlike other employees in the public and private sectors,” she said in a statement.
Last March, the DepEd adjusted the academic calendar and extended the current school year from June to July, requiring teachers to render 77 more working days than the mandated 220 school days in a school year.
