WAMCO employees yet to receive their salaries for the past month; no confirmation on when the payments will be disbursed

Allegations have surfaced against the Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO) regarding persistent salary delays since last December, with claims that political appointees are being prioritized while general staff face intimidation. Amidst growing concerns over administrative inefficiency and a deteriorating financial situation, it has been revealed that pension contributions deducted from employees' salaries have remained unpaid for over a year. WAMCO management has yet to issue an official comment regarding these allegations.

Several employees of the Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO) have reported that they have yet to receive their salaries, even as the month of February came to a close.

Speaking to RaajjeTV, several employees reported that they have yet to receive their salaries for the month of February. They noted that they remain in the dark regarding a specific date for the disbursement. While some sources have suggested that payments might be issued by the 10th of this month, employees expressed uncertainty, stating they have received no official confirmation regarding the validity of these claims.

Efforts to obtain a comment from the Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO) regarding this matter have been unsuccessful. As relevant officials from the company have not provided a statement, the exact reason for the delay and the number of employees affected remain unclear.

Concerns regarding the Waste Management Corporation's (WAMCO) failure to pay employee salaries by the end of the month have been surfacing since December, yet the company has remained silent on the matter. Salaries for the month of December were only disbursed after the beginning of January.

January salaries were disbursed only after the beginning of February. Some employees reported that their pay had still not been deposited as late as February 5.

WEMCO employees were only issued their salaries and Ramadan allowances after the matter was reported in the news and met with widespread public criticism.

Employees had been expressing significant concerns as the company's Human Resources Department failed to provide a specific date for the disbursement of the Ramadan allowance, even as the holy month began. Following media coverage of the issue and mounting public criticism on social media, the company finally credited the allowance to its employees on February 19th.

Amidst emerging reports of numerous administrative issues within the Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO), a senior official at the company, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that several expatriate employees have yet to receive their salaries. The official noted that even last month, wages were only paid after the 20th. Furthermore, he alleged that some expatriate workers are being intimidated and warned not to speak out regarding the matter.

Addressing management's allegations that companies are failing to settle their dues with WAMCO, he stated that the corporation receives significant daily cash inflows and that businesses are indeed paying their bills. He further noted that while some companies occasionally face delays in making payments, they do ultimately settle their invoices.

He stated that this is merely an excuse and does not represent the actual issue. He noted that numerous political appointments have already been made to the detriment of the company, involving individuals who simply clock in and return home. Furthermore, he claimed that some employees spend their time playing cards and various other games within the office premises.

However, he noted that the salaries of political appointees are several times higher than those of the company's regular staff, and that these officials face no issues regarding their pay. He further stated that they receive their salaries even before the start of the month and were also provided their Ramadan allowance well in advance.

Highlighting the dire financial state of WAMCO, he noted that if the current trend continues, services will soon be disrupted and the company will face total bankruptcy. He further stated that the corporation is already operating at a loss.

Amidst mounting concerns regarding the Waste Management Corporation (WAMCO), it has emerged that the company has failed to deposit pension contributions for over a year, despite deducting the funds from employees' salaries.
