8. The Human Resource Management Officers (HRMOs) of the Schools Division Offices and implementing units shall compute the PVP and inform their respective teachers. In cases where a teacher will not receive full PVP, the HRMOs shall advise the teacher to signify his/her intent to offset a proportional deduction from his/her earned vacation service credits (VSC).

Therefore, the Human Resource Management Offices (HRMOs) should have prepared a list and notify all teachers with PVP deductions due to the above reasons before the issuance of this memorandum.

In case the VSC is insufficient to cover or offset the PVP deduction, the HRMOS shall submit to the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) through Agency Remittance Advice (ARA) Form D as leave of absence without pay the PVP overpayment to avoid premium arrearage on behalf of the teacher.

Therefore, the HRMOs shall prepare a list and notify all teachers with PVP deductions due to the above reasons.
