Agencies adopting alternative work schedules should make parallel adjustments in the availment blocks, tantamount to either a half or full day leave from work.“5.9.2 The employee may use the CTO continuously up to a maximum of five (5) days per single availment, or on staggered basis within the year.
“5.9.3. The employee must first obtain approval from the head of agency/ authorized official regarding the schedule of availment of CTO.
