Following scandal, payroll will undergo audit.
Under pressure from the Comurg exorbitant salary crisis, Paulo Garcia orders a thorough review of the City Hall's payroll. FGV will be responsible for the work, which begins next week. The Getúlio Vargas Foundation will analyze the amounts paid to active, inactive, commissioned, and retired employees of the municipality's direct and indirect administration. This week another complaint surfaced involving irregular payments: 37 employees were receiving salaries from Comdata, which was dissolved from the municipal administration in 2011.
Goiás 247_ The Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV) will begin an audit next week, lasting one year, of the payroll of the Goiânia city hall. The work, ordered by Mayor Paulo Garcia (PT), will analyze the amounts paid to active, inactive, commissioned, and retired employees of the municipality's direct and indirect administration.
The goal is to verify if the payroll is within the law, point out possible irregularities, and suggest solutions. Some slips recently revealed by the press have put pressure on Paulo. The major scandal that shook the City Hall was the case of the exorbitant salaries at Comurg. Councilor Elias Vaz denounced that employees of the company were receiving up to R$ 40 per month.
The salaries of the civil servants were around R$ 3, but through overtime, bonuses, and incorporations, they exceeded the mayor's monthly income (R$ 19), which is prohibited by law. Paulo Garcia acknowledged the error and ordered the cancellation of the irregular payment.
“There has never been this type of external work at the Goiânia City Hall. What we want is to check all incidents and correct possible errors or even injustices within the system. If you conduct an audit, you ensure that the employee who is receiving less than the law stipulates receives more, and the one who is receiving more can also be identified. This decision has been under study since last year, due to the complexity of the payroll,” stated the Municipal Secretary of Administration, Valdi Camarcio.
The latest salary scandal on the city hall payroll is the Comdata case. Once again, it was Elias Vaz who brought the irregularity to light. Even though it was dissolved in 2011, the company has 37 employees receiving salaries, and some even earn money from another source.
