4-day workweek, posibleng ipatupad sa harap ng banta ng COVID-19— Nograles
The government task force considering measures against COVID-19 is exploring a four-day workweek for certain government offices as a precautionary measure.
Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles confirmed this is one of the options being studied, particularly for offices with exposure to COVID-19.
A final decision has not yet been made, as the proposal is still under study and has been discussed in smaller groups with the Civil Service Commission.
The four-day workweek may be implemented once there is a 'clustering' of COVID-19 cases, as opposed to the current sporadic cases.
The Department of Labor and Employment has issued an advisory for the private sector to implement flexible work arrangements.
The government is also assessing the extension of class suspensions in Metro Manila.
