The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) has directed heads of institutions to submit August salary bills by August 23 in order to disburse payments to MPO-enlisted teachers and staff via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT). The circular warns that delays in online bill submission will prevent salaries from being sent through EFT. Heads of institutions must download copies of submitted bills, signed by both the head and governing body president, for recordkeeping. Since January 2024, MPO salaries have been transferred directly to individual bank accounts through EFT. From August, however, monthly MPO payroll submissions by institution heads have been made mandatory to ensure accuracy in cases of retirement, resignation, or death.
