MANILA, Philippines — The city government of Mandaluyong announced on Wednesday that it will implement a modified work schedule in all its offices.
In an order released by the Mandaluyong City Public Information Office (PIO), and signed by Mandaluyong City Mayor Benjamin Abalos, the local government unit offices will have a 7:00 am to 4:00 pm work schedule starting May 14.
“All departments and offices of the City Government of Mandaluyong shall, in accordance with the Metro Manila Council Resolution No. 24-08 providing for adjusted work hours of Local Government Units (LGUs), shall hereby adopt the adjusted work hours of 7:00 am – 4:00 pm,” the order read.
The order came after a resolution of the Metro Manila Council that directed LGUs in the capital region to modify their office hours in a bid to alleviate traffic congestion.
The order also provided that heads of offices may exercise discretion to effectively comply with the schedule as long as the needs of the public are met.
Meanwhile, offices with shifting schedules will still have an 8:00 am to 5:00 p.m. schedule, the Mandaluyong City PIO added.
“Ito ay para sa lahat ng mga opisina nito maliban sa mga opisinang may sinusunod na shifting schedule o yung mga opisina na ang mga empleyado ay mananatili pa rin ang pasok na 8:00 AM-5:00 PM,” it added.
(This is for all offices except those following a shifting schedule or those offices whose employees will have an 8:00 am to 5:00 pm schedule.)
