No 4-day workweek in DOJ
The DOJ has followed the the judiciary’s example of rejecting the four-day workweek.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima rejected through Memorandum Circular No. 49 last Oct. 27 the Civil Service Commission (CSC)’s proposal to ease the traffic congestion in Metro Manila.
“The government agencies and offices in Metro Manila under the Department of Justice shall continue to observe the required minimum five-day workweek,” she quoted a recent memorandum of Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr.
The memorandum was addressed to DOJ undersecretaries and assistant secretaries, the prosecutor general, chief state counsel and heads of attached bureaus, commissions and agencies.
