The HCM City People’s Committee has instructed municipal inspectors to conduct a thorough inspection of four public-service companies whose leaders were found to have embezzled employees’ salaries.
Four public-service companies whose leaders were found to have embezzled employees' salaries to face thorough inspection
The results of the recent inspection showed that at HCM City Urban Drainage Company, Public Lighting Company, Saigon Traffic Construction Company and the Green Park Company, the average wage was VND22.2 million per month (USD1,000) while the figure at other state companies was only VND7.3 million. Leaders of these four state-owned public-service firms in HCM City received a salary of VND2.6 billion per year (USD12,809).
The comprehensive inspection will target all these companies’ activities, particularly the use of finance, employees and assets. Any violation will be seriously dealt with.
The companies are also requested to return more than VND6 billion (USD28,571) to the state budget for incorrect salaries and bonus payments in 2011. The returned amount will be used to compensate the firm’s employees who were unfairly treated.
The municipal committee has urged management agencies to judge how much responsibility be attributed to the HCM City Department of Finance and the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affair for the salary problems at these companies which have evidently existed for many years, but were only brought to light very recently.
Earlier, HCM City authorities suspended eight leaders of the offending companies for the scam.
