SUB created the topic: HOLIDAYS OFF/ CTO/ FRONTLINER
Bilang frontliner po, hindi po ba makakaltasan ang aming duty hours kapag may holiday sa isang buwan? Ang mga office lang po ba ang may privilege sa pagkaltas ng duty pag may holiday? Since last year hindi po kami nagkakaltas ng duty hours sa buong buwan kahit may holiday man sa mga buwan ng 2021... kasi yun ang sinabi ng HR na sila lang ang may privilege sa holiday off. Kung meron man pong pang compensate dito sa excess hours ng duty namin, magagamit po ba namin ngayong taon ng 2022 ang mga excess duty namin netong nakaraan na taong 2021? May form po ba na gagamitin upang maka file ng pang compensate ng excess duty namin?

EXAMPLE:

And buwan ng Mayo 2022 ay may isang holiday na nakatapay sa araw ng tuesday (May 3)... ang offices ay hindi papasok sa naturang holiday kaya ang total number of duties lang nila sa buong buwan ng Mayo ay 21 days... ang frontliner po ba ay gagaya din sa work schedule nila na 21 days only? Or kami po ay magduduty ng hindi nakakaltasan nang isang araw gawi sa natapat na holiday sa weekdays? Sana po malinawan kami. Salamat po

In relation to your query, we cite Rule XVII, Government Working Hours, provided under the Omnibus Rules Implementing Book V of Executive Order No. 292 and Other Pertinent Civil Service Laws, thus:

SECTION 1. It shall be the duty of each head of department or agency to require all officers and employees under him to strictly observe the prescribed office hours. When the head of office, in the exercise of his discretion allows government officials and employees to leave the office during the office hours and not for official business, but to attend socials/events/functions and/or wakes/interments, the same shall be reflected in their time cards and charged to their leave credits.

SECTION 2. Each head of department or agency shall require a daily record of attendance of all the officers and employees under him including those serving in the field or on the water, to be kept on the proper form and, whenever possible, registered on the bundy clock.

Service "in the field" shall refer to service rendered outside the office proper and service "on the water" shall refer to service rendered on board a vessel which is the usual place of work.

SECTION 3. Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs of agencies who are appointed by the President, officers who rank higher than these chiefs and assistant chiefs in the three branches of the government, and other presidential appointees need not punch in the bundy clock, but attendance and all absences of such officers must be recorded.

SECTION 4. Falsification or irregularities in the keeping of time records will render the guilty officer or employee administratively liable without prejudice to criminal prosecution as the circumstances warrant.

SECTION 5. Officers and employees of all departments and agencies except those covered by special laws shall render not less than eight hours of work a day for five days a week or a total of forty hours a week, exclusive of time for lunch. As a general rule, such hours shall be from eight o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock noon and from one o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon on all days except Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.

SECTION 6. Flexible working hours may be allowed subject to the discretion of the head of department or agency. In no case shall the weekly working hours be reduced in the event the department or agency adopts the flexi-time schedule in reporting for work.

SECTION 7. In the exigency of the service, or when necessary by the nature of the work of a particular agency and upon representations with the Commission by the department heads concerned, requests for the rescheduling or shifting of work schedule of a particular agency for a number of working days less than the required five days may be allowed provided that government officials and employees render a total of forty hours a week and provided further that the public is assured of core working hours of eight in the morning to five in the afternoon continuously for the duration of the entire workweek.

SECTION 8. Officers and employees who have incurred tardiness and undertime, regardless of the number of minutes per day, ten (10) times a month for at least two (2) consecutive months during the year or for at least two (2) months in a semester shall be subject to disciplinary action. (Amendment of Section 8, Rule XVII of the Omnibus Rules Implementing Book V of E.O. No. 292, CSC Memorandum Circular No. 34-98, [August 11, 1998])

SECTION 9. Off-setting of tardiness or absences by working for an equivalent number of minutes or hours by which an officer or employee has been tardy or absent, beyond the regular or approved working hours of the employees concerned, shall not be allowed.

SECTION 10.
