Government employees affected by the phreatic eruption of Taal volcano may avail of the special five-day emergency leave.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) reiterated CSC Memorandum Circular Nos. 2 and 16 issued 16 February 2012 and 17 October 2012, respectively, containing guidelines for the grant of the special emergency leave for state employees, which may be applied for five straight working days or on staggered basis and will not be deducted from the employee’s leave credits. Said privilege may be used for any of the following: for urgent repair and clean-up of damaged house, being stranded in affected areas, disease/illness of employees brought by natural calamity/disaster, or caring of immediate family members affected by natural calamity/disaster.

The Civil Service Commission suspends work on December 23 in its central and regional offices to give its officials and employees the full opportunity to celebrate the holidays with their families and loved ones. This work suspension, however, will not automatically cancel scheduled activities such as meetings with other government agencies. Regular operations and services will resume 26 December 2019.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
