  4. There’s this case of a teacher who is undergoing a dialysis every week, since teachers doesn’t have a usual sick or vacation leave because of PVP can’t she be excused from school or what option can you advise because she will be deducted as absent every time she has her dialysis session. It’s a pity that the salary she will be receiving for that day will be deducted because it can help buy her medicine. Hope there’s other option for this case. Thanks

  6. As a general rule, Vacation Service Credits are only to be used on accounts of sickness or medical-related concerns. Meanwhile, the 15 day-Vacation Leave Credits, are not included in the teachers’ leave privilege since they have a unique privilege called PVP.

  8. What about the section 9 of the omnibus rules on leave which pertains to the use of vacation service credits for teachers.. some divisions imposed leave without pay for absences due to personal reasons when in fact the section 9 states otherwise.
