Still awaiting gratuity

I have sent several letters to permanent secretaries, human resource directors and the office of the Chief Personnel Officer requesting At first there was uncertainty as to where exactly my paperwork had found itself, and eventually I received correspondence from the ministry stating that everything had gone to the CPO.

According to them, “numerous reminders” and calls were made to inquire about the status of my situation. Apparently the CPO indicated they were working on the matter and they would forward “same upon completion.” Unfortunately, this is the last I heard from the ministry.

Since I left the ministry, a new government has taken over, the person who was keeping me updated from the HR Department has left, and the ministry is now a division of the Ministry of Education. I don’t think I can be faulted for being apprehensive that my matter will be forgotten.

I implore the Ministry of Education and the CPO to please expedite the process to ensure I receive my gratuity as soon as possible. All parties involved should have no problem contacting me. My phone number is in my file if it hasn’t gone missing once more.
