The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board is mulling the issuance of a show cause order against bus companies that have failed to pay their bus conductors’ salaries.
“At this point in time, the board will have to consider the issuance of a show cause order on the bus operators for them to explain before the board why they are not paying the salaries of their employees,” LTFRB Chairman Martin B. Delgra III said in a virtual briefing.
According to Delgra, bus operators have the obligation to pay the conductors since they are their employees. Failure to do so could earn them stiff penalties. The LTFRB chief also explained that payouts under its service contracting program are continuously being processed and distributed to beneficiaries.
Delgra said that they can help the affected conductors file a complaint before the Department of Labor and Employment if the non-payment persists.
