MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 2011- 2j

TO : All BOQ (ManUa & Quarantine Stations) Officials and Employees

SUBJECT : Policy on Half Dav Absence

For purposes of clarification re: Policy on Half Day Absence please be informed that pursuant to CSC Resolution No. 101358 dated July 6, 2010, the Commission resolves to promulgate the following guidelines as follows;

1. Any officer or employee who is absent in the morning is considered to be tardy and is subject to the provisions on Habitual Tardiness; and

2. Any officer or employee who is absent in the afternoon is considered to have incurred undertime, subject to the provisions on Undertime.

According to Resolution No. 101358, being absent for half a day results in failure of an officer or employee to observe the eight-hour work in a day. The Civil Service Law, Rules and Regulations are silent to what constitute half day absence, thus, there is a need to define how an officer or employee may be held liable for his/her half day absence.
