deped southern leyte division is requiring a medical certification for the yearly monetization of leave credits; worse is one has to undergo a supposed operation or a really serious medication before he/she can enjoy this privilege. Isn’t this a violation against legislated guidelines and an abuse of discretion? Please help.
I just want to be clarified on a claim of an official for monetization of leave credits. She has served as a clerk (plantilla position) and was terminated in the service last November 2018 due to a case filed against her and earned 35 days VL. Comes May 2019 elections she won as Municipal Councilor and earned 7.5 days VL as of Dec. 31, 2019. January 2020 she filed for a 30 days mone of leave credits. Is the claim valid considering that there is a gap in her services? Thank you very much for your help. God bless.
