Playa del Carmen, Mexico — The Playa del Carmen Municipal Government is conducting a review in its Human Resources department to audit the municipal payroll and eliminate so-called "ghost employees."
Guillermo Brahms, the city's chief administrative officer, stated that this review is part of a reorganization intended to strengthen the administrative efficiency of the municipal government. He indicated that the review was initiated after several irregularities were detected following changes in the leadership of the Human Resources department, where some "ghost employees" were identified; that is, employees who collected a salary without reporting to offices or performing their duties.
"The mandate of Municipal President Estefanía Mercado is clear: those who do not work should not get paid," he stated.
The chief administrative officer emphasized that the responsibility of every municipal government is to guarantee that every peso is used correctly and with total transparency. The former congressman acknowledged that the review has caused dissatisfaction among some former collaborators but stressed that the municipality must have a real workforce.
Furthermore, the chief administrative officer said that the municipal government is current in its payment of salaries.
The official added that once this process is concluded, a report on the results of this review will be made public.
