On rotation basis: SC allows 30% of workforce to physically report to Padre Faura

The Supreme Court (SC) has decided to increase the number of its workforce who will physically report for work.

Considering that the National Capital Region has been placed under Alert Level 3 of the IATF’s COVID-19 Alert Levels Systems, the operational capacity of the offices/services in the Supreme Court covering the period October 20, 2021 to October 29, 2021 is hereby increased to a maximum of thirty percent (30%), except for the Office of the Bar Confidant, Medical and Dental Services, Security Division, and Maintenance Division, which is up to a maximum of fifty percent (50%),” reads the memorandum of Acting Chief Justice Estela Perlas-Bernabe.

Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo is currently on wellness leave and will be back by November.

Bernabe said that “those who will physically report, on a rotation basis, shall be determined by the respective chiefs of offices/services”

“The remaining workforce shall be under the work-from-home (WFH) arrangement. Employees under this arrangement are advised to stay home except for extremely urgent necessities,” she instructed.

Bernabe said those who will physically report for work will have their health condition “thoroughly checked upon entering the Court’s premises.”

“They must not have even the slightest symptoms. They shall be monitored from time to time to ensure they have no symptoms of COVID-19,” she said.

While, those who will be reporting physically for the first time after more than 15 days have been told to “first proceed to the antigen testing center to undergo this test before proceeding to their respective offices/services/units.”

“In the event that the areas of those assigned to physically report to the above offices/services are placed on granular lockdown or micro-level quarantine (critical zones), they shall be replaced by those residing in areas with lower alert levels,” she said.
