In "Čistoća", the June salary is questionable

Until yesterday, the executive director of Podgorica "Čistoća" Andrija Čađenović (DPS) did not leave behind a full cash register, so the payment of the June salary to the employees is called into question, claims Milan Vukadinović (Democrats), chairman of the board of directors of that utility company whose founder is the capital.

He also said that after Čođenović, "Čistoći" had to pay installments for mobile phones for people who no longer work in the company for the next year and a half, and that the former executive director took one company car to a mechanic, and "borrowed" the other. while transporting personal belongings...

Čađenović did not want to answer the specific questions of "Vijesti", but directed the editorial office to "Čistoća".

Vukadinović submitted to "Vijesta" the documentation that the Board of Directors, as he said, requested from the employees and Čađenović. Thus, among other things, it was established that on the day when Čađenović was appointed as the executive director of "Čistoća" four years ago, there were 530 thousand euros in the account of that utility company. On Tuesday, June 13, the last day of his mandate, the account of "Čistoće" has 13 times less money, i.e. 40 thousand.

According to Vukadinović, on the day Čađenović was appointed, June 13, 2019, "Čistoća" had no debt to the company "Deponija" and even had a subscription of 30. Today, as he said, "Čistoća" owes "Deponia" almost one million, or 975 thousand, and that company, whose founder is Glavni grad, claims Vukadinović, also owes 120 thousand for contributions.

Čađenović's four-year term as executive director expired on June 13. On Tuesday, as "Vijesti" reported, he declared that he did not want to be assigned to another position in "Čistoća", in accordance with the type and level of educational qualification. Instead, as he stated in his statement at the request of the Board of Directors, he wants to use "the right to the payment of severance pay in the amount of 24 monthly net earnings (with the payment of taxes and contributions that fall on the employer)", which he achieved in the month preceding the termination its functions.

According to the property record, he received around 1.470 euros as executive director until March, so, based on the severance pay, he should be paid around 35 thousand euros.

Vukadinović, however, says that the net salary that Čađenović received in May, the month preceding the termination of his position, amounted to 1.604,79 euros. Thus, in the name of severance pay, without taxes and contributions, yesterday's executive director "Čistoća" should pay a little over 38,5 thousand.

Čađenović stated in his statement that if the employer cannot pay him severance pay all at once, he can do so in 24 monthly installments, so he would practically receive his current salary for the next two years...

The President of the Board of Directors claims that Čađenović left a debt to suppliers in the amount of over 380 euros at the end of his term in "Čistoća", that the company "Laković" is owed almost 98 euros based on vouchers for employees, and that the question is whether he will The "purity" of being able to pay the June salary to employees.

Vukadinović told "Vijesta" that there were a number of other irregularities that occurred during Čađenović's mandate, among other things, that in December of last year, the purchase of six mobile phones was approved for the members of the then Board of Directors. That expense, claims Vukadinović, is accounted for as representation in the amount of 204,15 euros, and the new Board of Directors, as they told "Vijesta", received a written statement from the employee for this.

According to invoices for the purchase of phones that "Vijesti" had access to, "Čistoća" bought three Samsung A53 devices at a price of around 480 euros, one Samsung Z Flip 4 at over 1.160, and two iPhone 14 devices at a price of about 1.150 euros each. All phones were purchased in 24 monthly installments.

"The board of directors did not return the mobile phones after the end of their mandate, and neither did the executive director yesterday," Vukadinović told "Vijesta" and added that in the next year and a half, as long as the contract with Crnogorski Telecom expires, "Čistoća" has the obligation to pay about 270 euros per month to that mobile operator for devices used by persons who are no longer employed in that company.

The new Board of Directors also claims that on the day when his mandate ended, one of the official vehicles was "Čistoće" at Čađenović's, and that the other official car was at the master's...

In the minutes of June 13, which were made available to "Vijesta" for inspection, and which are signed by Vukadinović and assistant executive director Slobodanka Čabarkapa, among other things, it is written that on that day a meeting was held with several persons from that utility company "in relation to the tour of the company circle and determining the state that there are no motor vehicles with registration plates PGCGE54 and PGCGE68 in the said area".

Čabarkapa, as written in the document, stated that she was on vacation, that she left the 'Golf' vehicle in the Company's premises, and that upon arriving at work on June 13, the executive director (Čađenović) informed her that he had taken the vehicle for use. and that the vehicle 'Passat' was hit and that it is being repaired".

"During the meeting with the president of the Board of Directors, I called the executive director Andrija Čađenović in front of him, who confirmed over the phone that the Passat vehicle was left for repair at the Rešetar service center and that it would be repaired by Thursday evening, and that the repair to pay at his own expense. He took the 'Golf' vehicle to take personal belongings from the office and will return it in the morning," Čabarkapa stated in her statement.

"Vijesti" asked Čađenović whether, on the day his mandate ended, there were debts owed to "Čistoća", as well as a debt owed to "Čistoća", as well as from whom and to whom. He was also asked whether he paid off the official vehicle, mobile phone, and whether the official phones were returned by the members of the former Board of Directors. He was also asked whether, in relation to the balance of the accounts on the day his mandate ended, there is a possibility that the company does not have the money to pay the June salaries.
