It was the third stop work order that DPW has issued against IPI. The first was issued on Oct. 9, 2020, and the second was on Dec. 29. Both were due to lack of engineers of record or EORs and safety inspector.
DPW said it issued the third stop work order because 15 days had already passed and IPI still had not complied with the requirement to have EORs and safety inspector at the job site.
Commonwealth Casino Commission Executive Director Andrew Yeom on Wednesday reminded IPI chief engineer Eric Poon that the Casino License Agreement Amendment No. 6 gives IPI until Feb. 28, 2021 to finish the hotel-casino project in Garapan.

Five months late, employees aren’t celebrating
By Haidee V. Eugenio SAIPAN, CNMI (Saipan Tribune, July 4, 2011) – The good news is that Tinian Dynasty Hotel and Casino employees got paid two weeks ago. But the bad news is that the paychecks they got were for their late February to early March payroll. We still haven t received our paychecks for March to June. It s now July, said one of the employees in an interview.
Another said while their employer is behind by almost four months in paying their wages, she s thankful she still has a job, considering the economic hardships not only on Tinian but in the entire CNMI as well.
