Civil Service Commission Regional Director David Cabanag, Jr. dismissed the complaint filed by four casual employees against Mayor Rodulfo Yee of Bacong, Negros Oriental, recently.

Fidel Glenn Yucor filed for reinstatement and payment of backwages before the CSC, while Mila Austero, Helen Tuballa and Josephine Veruasa filed for re-instatement as midwives.

Yucor was assigned at the Sangguniang Bayan office and was later transferred to the Municipal Assesor's office. But Yucor failed to report to his re-assigned position and continue to collect his pay without submitting his daily time record.

As for the three complainants, the mayor said he did not renew appointments when they did not signify their intent to continue their services before or even after the expiration of their contracts as casual employees of the municipality. The CSC stated that there was no need to issue a notice of termination to casual employees since they are aware of the date of expiration of their appointments. Having a casual status appointment that is non-permanent means their employment expired after the expiration of the contract.*
