  1. Where in the guideline could I find the condition where you stated that at least more than 30 days vacation and sick leave should have been accumulated in order to avail of the special monetization. Also those enumerated justifiable reasons. Thank you.

  2. The Section 22 of the omnibus rules provide that government officials and EMPLOYEES can avail of monetization.

    Since you are an employee, therefore you can apply for monetization.

  3. Hello. If, for example, i have less than 15 vacation leave (ex. 9 credits left), but the agency i am working with allowed me to monetize a part of my sick leave credits, lprovided that i have a justification letter (for my case, maintenance medication of my husband), under what clause or provision will i fall at? Will my monetization be approved at the discretion of the agency or will it be under CSCs guidelines?
