: REVISED
PROCEDURE IN THE MAILING OF SALARY CHECKS OF JUDGES AND LOWER COURT
PERSONNEL.
It has come
to the
attention of this Court that Judges and lower court personnel are
complaining
about the delayed salary checks. To curb the alleged causes of these
delays
and for a smooth and more efficient service, a revised procedure in the
mailing of salary checks is hereby adopted:chanrobles virtual law library
[1] The
priority
in the processing and mailing of the salary checks will be as follows:chanrobles virtual law library
(a)
Mindanao area;
(b) Visayas
area;
(c)
Northern Luzon
area;
(d) Bicol
area;
(e) Central
Luzon
area; and cralaw:red

area [2] As a
general rule,
all salary checks shall be mailed directly to the payee at his regular
for the first quincena, before the 7th day of the month, and for the
second
quincena, before the 21st day of the month. This, of course, will
depend
on the early preparation of the EDP of all periodic payrolls and salary
checks.
[3] No
personal pick-up
of salary checks will be allowed unless the payee or his duly
authorized
representative formally notifies the Mailing and Releasing Section of
the
Finance Mailing and Budget Office (FMBO) before hand, of his intention
to obtain personal delivery of his/her salary checks. In such a case,
the
check shall be released only one day before the due date or in
extremely
urgent cases, upon proper directive from the Office of the Court
Administrator.
If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or official holiday, the
release
may be made on the work date immediately preceding the Saturday, Sunday
or holiday.cralaw:red

duly
notarized.cralaw:red
For those

Mailing
Register, they will be considered ready for mailing and stamped and the
registry number will be noted. At this stage, all checks will be
considered
mailed.cralaw:red
Please be
guided
accordingly.cralaw:red
