Solo Parent Leave: Seven (7) working days parental leave for solo parents certified by the DSWD
Calamity Leave: Two (2) days leave for employees who were affected by flood, fire and typhoon (must be supported by a Government
proclamation)

THE CIVIL Service Commission (CSC) has issued a resolution granting a five-day special emergency leave for government employees
directly affected by natural calamities or disasters.
With the increasing risks brought about by climate change and global warming, the Commission saw it necessary to offer assistance to
state workers affected by natural calamities in the form of special leave. We hope that this would give affected employees respite and ample
time to recover, said CSC Chair Francisco T. Duque III.
In CSC Resolution No. 1200289 issued on February 8, state workers in officially-declared calamity areas may avail of the special
emergency leave for five straight working days or on staggered basis. Said special leave is separate and will not be deducted from the
employees leave credits, and may be availed of within 30 days from the first day of calamity declaration by proper government authorities.
A natural calamity or disaster may include earthquakes, flooding, volcanic eruption and landslide that have profound environmental effect
and/or human loss and frequently cause financial loss.
The policy covers state workers affected by typhoons Pedring, Quiel and Sendong in 2011, and other natural calamities such as landslides
and flashfloods that occurred after the onslaught of typhoon Ondoy in September 2009. It will be implemented retroactively, thus, affected
employees whose leave credits were previously deducted may request these to be restored.
The leave may be used by employees stranded in affected areas, for urgent repair and clean-up of damaged house, for recovery from
disease/illness, or for caring for immediate family members affected by natural calamity.
The CSC policy orders heads of offices to take full responsibility in granting special emergency leave and in verifying the employees
eligibility to avail of such.
