The extended schedule, which runs from March 10 to December 29, 2026, was implemented in accordance with Memorandum Circular No. 114 and Executive Order No. 16, series of 2026. The compressed workweek arrangement requires city government employees to complete their weekly hours over four longer days instead of the traditional five-day schedule.

The compressed workweek policy has been adopted by several local government units across the Philippines as a measure to improve employee productivity and work-life balance while reducing operational costs such as electricity and transportation expenses.
Background on the Policy
