🕗You are required to be punctual and regular in your attendance. In other words, you should strictly observe your prescribed official time. You will be issued a Daily Time Record (DTR) on a monthly basis (if you are an administrative personnel) by which you will record your time in/out through the use of the designated bundy clock in your area of assignment.

📠If you belong to the REPS, your college/office will acquaint you with the device by which to record your attendance. You will submit a Certificate of Service (COS) in lieu of the DTR, as proof of your attendance for the month. However, those REPS performing administrative functions are required to use the DTR instead of COS.

👨‍💼Tardiness and undertime are discouraged as these will have effect on your own performance in particular and to the office performance in general. You will be considered habitually tardy if you incur tardiness, regardless of the number of minutes, ten (10) times a month for at least two (2) months in a semester or at least two (2) consecutive months during the year. (CSC MC No. 4, s 1991 as amended by CSC MC No. 23 s. 1998)

Sanctions for Habitual Tardiness

1st Offense...........................................................Reprimand

2nd Offense.........................................................Suspension for one (1) day to thirty (30) days

3rd Offense.........................................................Dismissal

With regard to Habitual Absenteeism, you will be considered as such if you incur unauthorized absences exceeding the allowable 2.5 days monthly leave credit for at least three (3) consecutive months during the year. Further, Section 46 (B) (5) of Revised Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (RRACCS) provides that Frequent Unauthorized Absences (Habitual Absenteeism) is a grave offense punishable by suspension of six (6) months and one (1) day to one (1) year for the first offense and dismissal from the service for the second offense.

📋The Declaration of the State of Calamity ended on 31 December 2022. As this was not extended anew, with COVID-19-related restrictions continuing to ease, and our campuses are fully reopening, the University shall resume its offices/units’ regular operations and personnel’s pre-pandemic work arrangements, in which physical reporting in the offices/units/workstations and flexitime are observed, effective 01 February 2023.

🖋️Offices/units may continue to offer online services/transactions to their clients online, but they must also expect and prepare for an increased volume of face-to-face transactions. Further, flexible work arrangements (FWA), specifically flexiplace (i.e. work from home, work from satellite office, work from another fixed place) and compressed workweek, may be be adopted only during disasters or emergency situations due to typhoons, flooding, and other similar hazardous events which may pose difficulties to personnel in physically reporting to the office.
