Question
Back Pay for Retired Personnel
This pertains to a request regarding a retired employee's entitlement to back pay. Although the request did not provide much detail, we were able to gather the following information from the supporting documents attached to it: Said person was suspended for one month from March 7- April 8, 2008 pending the result of an investigation concerning the formal charge filed against him. On April 9, 2008 his regional director (RD) dismissed him from the service having been found guilty of grave misconduct, but on the next day he appealed the decision and filed for a motion for reconsideration (MR) to the Department Secretary. On Sept 13, 2011, the Dept Secretary affirmed the decision of his RD, but on the same day he again filed an MR. On March 2014, said decision was reversed and he was exonerated. On December 1, 2015, he retired from the service. On May 22, 2017, we received the request for his back pay from 2008-2015. Can we still pay for his back salaries and other compensation (including PERA, Bonus, PEI, clothing allowance and cash gift) considering he's already retired from the service in 2015? Was he supposed to report to work starting March 2014? Can we still pay him if he did not? It was also shown in the submitted documents that he reported to work from June 2009 to Sept 2011. I hope you can shed light on this matter.
Thank you very much.
