GNAT Alerts Teachers to Possible Removal of Names from Payroll.
GNAT issues a warning regarding the rising worry that validators are removing certain teachers’ names from the payroll. All validators must behave professionally and understand the nuances of validation.

In addition to giving salary recipients peace of mind, this validation serves as an essential precaution against inconsistencies in pay and career advancement.
