Following its issuance of revised guidelines on flexible working hours or ‘flexitime’ in government in November last year, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) enjoined agencies to review their internal rules on working hours, taking into consideration the respective situations of their employees as they travel to and from their place of work.

The Commission clarified that the guidelines, contained in CSC Memorandum Circular No. 25, s. 2019, does not automatically change the work schedules of government employees. Rather, it directs agencies to formulate their internal rules in the implementation of flexitime with the approval of the head of the department, office, or agency, and subject to certain conditions.

The flexible work schedule must abide by the following conditions: that officials and employees shall not render less than a total of 40 hours a week for five (5) days a week, exclusive of time for lunch; that working hours shall not start earlier than 7 a.m. and end later than 7 p.m.; and that the public is assured of the continuous services of the agency from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. even during lunch break.
