ACC has investigated of an issue addressed in the 2011 Audit Report (Number: SPE-2014-06) claiming that Works Corporation Limited has acted in contradiction to the company policy in paying overtime to some of the employees, ACC concluded the case as follows:
Upon investigation, it was found that the company has paid their staffs according to the company’s ‘Salary Policy’ which is approved by the board of directors of the company. Moreover, staffs who were working at lower level than level 5 were paid fixed overtime same as staffs who were working at level 5 since they were taking equal responsibilities as a staff who were at level 5.
Furthermore, a decision was made to pay fixed overtime for the staffs working in vessels of the company, as they are supposed to spent a lot of time travelling in the sea. Also when the fixed overtime policy was implemented they were taking equal responsibilities as a level 5 staff. According to the 2011 Auditor General’s Report, a supervisor who was working in the N. Kudafari harbor project had been paid more than 146% of his basic salary. Though, staffs who are based in island locations are spend more time in working and because of that company decided to pay them a fixed overtime.
Thereby, the investigation did not reveal any contravention with the law number 2/2000 (Prevention and Prohibition of Corruption Act), that some employees of the Works Corporation Limited had worked extra time and had been paid against the policy. Hence, the case was concluded under section 25 (a) (1) of law number 13/2008 (Anti-Corruption Commission Act), as there was no offence of corruption in the case.
