Memorandum No. ERR-03-101

To:  Deans, Directors, Head of Units, and Staff

Subject: Official Work Schedule
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Please be reminded that the official work schedule of non-teaching 
 staff in the University is from 8:00 a.m. to  5:00 pm from Monday to Friday.

The flexi-time schedule is being observed as part of the internal 
 rules and regulations on attendance and punctuality, which will 
 require the employees to incur less frequency of absences and 
 tardiness than that allowed under the existing CSC rules and 
 regulations. The flexi-time schedule adopted by an official or 
 an employee whose work area does not require shifting of schedules 
 must have prior approval of the head of unit and must be reported 
 to the HRDO. Further, the employee must follow only one Official 
 Working Hour schedule, which he/she cannot occasionally change 
 at his/her convenience.

Further an employee may be allowed, at the discretion of the head 
 of unit, to report for work within a maximum of 15 minutes after 
 the start of his official working hours in the morning, provided 
 he/she offsets the number of minutes incurred at the end of the day. 
 The time allowance must be used only in emergency cases and must 
 not be practiced habitually.

It must be emphasized though that the adoption of flexi-time schedule 
 should not be prejudice the efficient delivery of services as well 
 as usage of utilities.
