  • Compensatory Time Off must be filled out using the Compensatory Time-off (CTO) Application Form.

  • Overtime Credit will be used to deduct the CTO and not the Leave Credits

The computation is expressed in number of hours, computed as follows:

  • overtime services rendered on weekdays or scheduled work days:

COC = number of hours of overtime services x 1.0

  • For overtime services rendered on weekends, holidays or scheduled days off:

COC = number of hours of overtime services x 1.5

  • Each employee may accrue not more than forty (40) hours of COCs in a month. In no instance, however, shall the unexpended balance exceed one hundred twenty hours (120) hours

  • The COCS should be used as time-off within the year these are earned until the immediately succeeding year. any unutilized COCs are deemed forfeited. (Amended by CSC-OBM Joint Circular No.2-A, s. 2005)

  • The COCs cannot be used to offset undertime/a or tardiness incurred by the employee during regular working days.

  • The COCs earned cannot be converted into cash, hence, are non- commutative.

  • The COCs will not be added to the regular leave credits of the employee. Hence, it is not part of the accumulated leave credits that are paid out to the employee.

  • Employees on WFH Arrangement is not entitled to receive overtime credits

  • In cases of resignation, retirement, or separation from the service, the unutilized COCs are deemed forfeited.

  • In case of detail or transfer to another agency, the COCs earned in one agency cannot be transferred to another agency, nor could the employee receive monetary equivalent thereof.

  • In case of promotion, except when promoted to a position not qualified to receive overtime pay under previous issuances, the employee will retain his or her accrued COCs

  • The CTO may be availed of in blocks of four (4) or eight (8) hours. Agencies adopting make parallel adjustments alternative work schedules should be in the availment blocks, tantamount to either a half or full day leave form work.

  • The employee may use the CTO continuously up to a maximum of five (5) consecutive days per single availment, or on staggered basis within the year.

  • The employee must first obtain approval from the head of the agency / authorized official regarding the schedule of availment of CTO, however, the schedule may be recalled and subsequently rescheduled by the Head of the Office/authorized official within the year, hence a five days approving period is needed.

2.Compensatory Time Off (CTO) must be filed five (5) days in advance;

3.Requiring a DTR or any attendance log before a Certificate of Compensatory Overtime Credits (COC) earned can be issued.
