Civil Service Commission and Department of Education’s Issuances Concerning Teaching and Non-Teaching Personnel

TeacherPH reiterates the following policies, guidelines and standards of teaching and non-teaching personnel to wit:

1. ATTENDANCE

(References: Omnibus Rules Implementing Title I, Subtitle A, Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987, Civil Service Commission Memorandum Circular No. 16, s. 2010, CSC MC 23, s. 1998, CSC MC No. 17, s. 2010, Book V of Executive Order 292 and Omnibus Rules, CSC MC No. 40, s. 1998, CSC MC No. 15, s. 1999, DECS Service Manual 2000, MECS Order No. 9, s. 1985, RA 6713 – Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards, RA 4670 entitled Magna Carta for Public School Teachers, RA 2260, known as “Civil Service Act of 1959”, PD 807, Punishing Violations of Existing Civil Service Law and Rules, MECS Order No. 10, s. 1985, MECS Memorandum No. 143, s. 1985, Memorandum No. 35, s. 1970)

1.1 ALL TEACHING AND NON-TEACHING PERSONNEL are required to utilize the Biometrics and attendance logbook for daily log in and log out (15 minutes before the time in the morning, log out during noon break not earlier than 12:00 noon, log in after noon break not earlier than 12:30 P.M. and log out in the afternoon after 15 minutes from the prescribed time).

1.2 Section 5, Rule XVII of the Omnibus Rules Implementing Title I, Subtitle A, Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987 states that:

“Officers and employees of all department and agencies except those covered by special laws SHALL RENDER NOT LESS THAN EIGHT HOURS (8 hrs.) of work for five (5) days a week of forty hours a week, exclusive of time for lunch. As a general rule, such hours shall be from eight o’clock in the morning (8:00 AM) to twelve noon (12:00 NN) and from one o’clock in the afternoon (1:00 PM) to five o’clock in the afternoon (5:00 PM) on all days except Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.”

1.3 Section 8, Rule XVIII of the Omnibus Implementing Title I, Subtitle A, Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987, as amended, provides that:

1.3.1 Habitual Absenteeism. This happens when the employee incurs unauthorized (read: no approved/official leave) absences for more than 2.5 days for at least 3 months in a single semester, or for three (3) consecutive months in a year;

1.3.2 Habitual Tardiness. This happens when the employee is tardy for at least ten (10) times in a month for two (2) months in a single semester; or 10 times in a month for two (2) consecutive months in a single year. Take note that, technically 8:01 AM is already considered tardy.

The 15-minute “grace period” known and commonly practiced among government offices has NO BASIS in law or CSC regulation; and

1.3.3 Loafing. An employee is guilty of loafing if he/she incurs frequent unauthorized absences from duty during office hours. A simple (yet very real) example of this is when a government employee does personal shopping at mall during office hours. Likewise, an official monitoring schools without an Authority to Travel is also considered a violation of loafing.

1.4 Civil Service Commission Memorandum Circular No. 16, s. 2010 promulgates the guidelines on Undertime which mentions that undertime is not classified as tardiness. It states that any officer or employee who incurs undertime, regardless of the number of minutes/ hours, ten (10) times a month or at least two months in a semester or at least two (2) consecutive months during the year shall be liable for a Simple Misconduct and/ or Conduct Prejudicial to the Best Interest of the Service, as the case maybe.

1.5 Under CSC MC 23, s. 1998, Tardiness refers to the failure of an employee to report for work or resume for work on time. Any official or employee shall be considered habitually tardy if he/she incurs tardiness regardless of minutes per day, ten times a month for Two (2) consecutive months or Two (2) months in a semester during the year. He is subject to disciplinary action: 1st offense is reprimand, 2nd offense is suspension for 1 day to 30 days and 3rd offense is DISMISSAL.

1.6 CSC MC No. 17, s. 2010 provides guidelines on Half Day Absence with conditions that any officer or employee who is absent in the morning is considered to be tardy and is subject to the provision on Habitual Tardiness and any officer or employee who is absent in the afternoon is considered to have incurred undertime, subject to the provision on Undertime.

1.7 An employee who has incurred UNAUTHORIZED ABSENCES, exceeding the allowable 2.5 days monthly leave credit under the Leave Law for at least three (3) months in a semester or at least three (3) consecutive months during the year shall be considered habitually absent. Those who incur habitual absence is subject six (6) months and one (1) day to one (1) year suspension on the first offense and Dismissal on the second offense,

1.8 There shall be no off-setting of tardiness or absences by working for an equivalent number of minutes or hours by which an officer or employee has been tardy or absent, beyond the regular working hours of the employees concerned.

Limitation on the Right to Strike – it is declared to be the policy of the government that employees therein shall not strike for the purpose of securing changes in their terms and conditions of employment

1.14 MECS Order No. 10, s. 1985 dated January 31, 1985 – Reiterating Regulations Related to Class Disruptions.

(a) Teachers may participate in organization activities outside of office hours, or within office hours provided they have the PERMISSION of the School Superintendent. They should however refrain from conduct prejudicial to the service which are subject to disciplinary action.

(b) Superintendents and Principals to check attendance of teachers. Those who are absent without prior approval by the official concerned, or who refuse to perform their functions should be subjected to corresponding administrative sanctions.

1.15 MECS Memorandum No. 143, s. 1985Violations of Civil Service Regulations on Strike and Absences stipulates that, persons who go on strike shall be replaced as soon as feasible to do so under Civil Service rules.

1.16 Memorandum No. 35, s. 1970 of the Bureau of Public Schools also provides that the concerted action of the teachers of leaving their classes without due permission from the school superintendent or without prior approval of an application for leave, can be considered “a strike” and therefore subject to administrative action conformably to Civil Service rules and regulations.

  1. Does the admin officer II of the school has the authority to memo the teacher and reprimand the teachers to be dismissed from work due to late and absences?

    Is there no special considerations for pwd and a dialysis patient working in deped?

    if the teacher is memoed, does he have no right to have a copy of the memo?
    who gives the AO of the school the authority to memo the teachers?

  2. Question Po, how about a teacher who reduce her teaching load to fulfill administrative work can she receive a service credit. What if on top of her job additional administrative work was given to her because she assumed all the work of an administrative employee who suffered from stroke for ten months, can she receive any service credit for it.

  11. Does this supersede DO 16, s. 2009 item number 2 which states that:

    (1) The six (6) hours of actual classrom teaching shall cover the full teaching load of a teacher as indicated in the class program. As described in DepEd Memorandum No. 291, s. 2008, teaching loads including advisorships and/or special assignments for the entire school year combined shall be considered as one teaching load;

    (3) Teachers who have rendered the six (6) hours of actual classroom teaching duly reflected in their daily time cards shall be deemed to have completed the required daily working hours and must not be declared to have incurred undertime in the report of attendance and must not be subjected to salary deductions by the concerned payroll services unit.

    I hope you can enlighten me in with this matter. Thanks
