Dear Maám:

Please be informed that the forum refrains from rendering categorical opinions on matters and issues that may later be the subject of an administrative proceeding before the Commission via an appeal or a complaint. This is to preclude the possibility of prejudgment should an actual administrative case be commenced or instituted based on the said matters or issues.

Nevertheless, CSC Resolution No. 98-3142, s. 1998 (Amendments to Rules I and XVI of the Omnibus Rules Implementing Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987), also known as the Omnibus Rules on Leave, states that Leave of Absence is generally defined as a right granted to officials and employees not to report for work with or without pay as may be provided by law and as the rules prescribed in Rule XVI thereof.

Moreover, your attention is invited to the following pertinent provisions of the Omnibus Rules on Leave pertaining to leave without pay:

“Sec. 56. Leave without pay. – All absences of an official or employee in excess of his accumulated vacation or sick leave credits earned shall be without pay.

[…]

“When an employee had already exhausted his sick leave credits, he can use his vacation leave credits but not vice versa.

“Sec. 57. Limit of leave without pay. – Leave without pay not exceeding one year may be granted, in addition to the vacation and/or sick leave earned. Leave without pay in excess of one month shall require the clearance of the proper head of department or agency.

“Sec. 58. When leave without pay is not allowable. – Leave without pay shall not be granted whenever an employee has leave with pay to his credit except in the case of secondment.

[…]

“Sec. 60. Effect of vacation leave without pay on the grant of length of service step increment. – For purposes of computing the length of service for the grant of step increment, approved vacation leave without pay for an aggregate of fifteen (15) days shall not interrupt the continuity of the three-year service requirement for the grant of step increment. However, if the total number of authorized vacation leave without pay included within the three-year period exceeds fifteen (15) days, the grant of one-step increment will only be delayed for the same number of days that an official or employee was absent without pay.”

Please be guided accordingly.
