In a virtual press briefing on Monday, June 21, the Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary for Finance, Annalyn Sevilla, confirmed that the agency is aiming to implement twice a month release of salary for public school teachers and other personnel by downloading the payroll processing to Schools Division Offices (SDOs).
Once a month salary releases to DepEd personnel at the field units contributed to the issue on personal financial management of teachers,
Sevilla said.

She also said that the wide gap existing in the present set up of once a month salary basis shall be closer if the salary of personnel is released on a twice a month basis.
This is also a strategy of preventing our teachers from being compelled to taking out loans from lenders,
she added.
Sevilla said that the pilot testing on the downloading of payroll processing from the present setup will be in the Regional offices (ROs) and SDOs.
She noted that the implementation of the twice a month salary release for both teaching and non-teaching personnel will greatly depend on the readiness of interested SDOs to prepare their own payrolls.
The evaluation shall be done by the Regional Automatic Payroll Deduction System (APDS) Task Force and the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS).
The announcement was made in time for the celebration of the 123rd founding anniversary of DepEd.
