Appointive officials up to the level of Heads of Executive Departments, Heads of Departments, Undersecretaries, and employees of the government (permanent, temporary, or casual) who render work during prescribed office hours are entitled to 15 days vacation and 15 days sick leave annually with full pay exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, and there is no limitation as to the number of days they may accumulate.
Yes. Contractual employees are likewise entitled to vacation and sick leave credits as well as the special leave privileges provided in Section 21 of CSC MC No. 41, s. 1998.
Local elective officials are entitled to leave privileges effective May 12, 1983 pursuant to BP 337 and the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160). Their leave credits are commutative and cumulative.
Members of the judiciary (Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Sandiganbayan, and RTC/MTC/MetTC, etc.), constitutional commissioners, Filipino officials and employees in the foreign service, faculty members of state universities and colleges pursuant to Section 4(h) of RA 8292 (with caveat that if no specific provisions exist, the general leave law and these rules apply), and others covered by special laws must promulgate their own implementing rules, submitted to the CSC for record purposes.
They are covered pursuant to Section 4(h) of RA 8292. However, if RA 8292 has no specific provisions, the general leave law and the CSC leave rules (including these amendments) are applicable.
They are entitled, in addition to vacation and sick leave granted them, to maternity leave of sixty (60) calendar days with full pay.
It is computed in proportion to their length of service.
They are entitled to 60-day maternity leave with half pay.
It cannot be deferred; it should be availed of either before or after the actual period of delivery, in a continuous and uninterrupted manner, not exceeding 60 calendar days.
In the teaching profession, maternity benefits can be availed of even if delivery occurs during the long vacation; in such case, both the maternity benefits and the proportional vacation pay are received by the teacher.
Yes. If she wants to report back before the expiration, she may be allowed if she presents a medical certificate that she is physically fit to assume the duties. The commuted money value of the unexpired portion need not be refunded, and if she returns early, she may receive both the maternity benefits and salary for actual services rendered effective the day she reports back.
Salary = Monthly Salary Rate / 22 × Actual No. of Days Worked.
Paternity leave is seven (7) days, non-cumulative and strictly non-convertible to cash.
It may be enjoyed either in a continuous or intermittent manner on the days immediately before, during, or after the childbirth or miscarriage of his legitimate spouse.
Computation is based on one day vacation leave and one day sick leave every 24 days of actual service, using the provided computation tables.
For days where the employee renders less than the usual 8 hours but completes 40 hours in the week, leave credits are deducted only for the number of hours required for a day’s work but not served. Absence is charged proportionately based on the number of hours required for a day, and the relevant “day’s work” refers to core hours prescribed in the agency, not necessarily the 8 regular hours.
