In an interview on Friday, DCM human resources manager Nena Titer said they processed the salaries of their workers on Aug. 7.
She did not disclose the amount of these payments, but said that the contracts of four of their eight workers will expire on Aug. 25.
The other four workers, she said, plan to register with the CNMI Department of Labor and seek a new employer.
A Guam-based company, DCM failed to meet the engine rehabilitation requirements stipulated in its contract with CUC.
It was Felipe Q. Atalig, former contractor of CUC and a former employer of eight DCM workers, who revealed that DCM had neglected to pay its eight mechanical technicians who were part of the team that tried to repair and overhaul the engines of Saipan’s Power Plant 1.
DCM owed each of the workers $2,000 in back wages and overtime pay.
According to Atalig, DCM workers have quit due to the non-payment of their salaries and overtime.
