THE DEPARTMENT of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said it will implement a four-day workweek as a precaution against the deadly coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
DOLE Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the new work schedule covers all employees at the central office in Manila as well as its regional offices, bureaus and field offices, as well as all its attached agencies.
The work schedule, he said, will only be from Monday to Thursday starting March 16. “All offices and agencies shall observe a four-day workweek which shall be from Monday to Thursday instead of working for five days a week and work schedule from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.,” Bello said.
Also covered by new work schedule are the Philippine Overseas Welfare Administration, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, Professional Regulation Commission, and the National Labor Relations Commission.
Bello said employees must follow the guideline - Friday shall be the day-off of all employees; employees must render not less than 10 hours of work a day, exclusive of meal periods; they may report for work anytime from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and end work anytime between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m..; employees who will report for work beyond 8 a.m. shall be considered tardy; those who do not complete 10 hours in one workday shall be considered under time; off-setting of tardiness or under time shall not be allowed; and the official lunch break shall be maintained at 12 noon to 1 p.m. regardless of the time the employee reports for work.
He said one-day absence shall be considered as a 10-hour absence and shall be deducted proportionately from the employee's leave credits and employees who are required to report for work on their scheduled day-off shall be entitled to 1.5 days compensatory time-off. (Ferdinand Patinio)
