Physical reporting to schools and offices is not mandatory - DepEd

The Department of Education reiterated that DepEd personnel are not required to physically report to schools and offices as stated in DepEd Order No. 011, s. 2020.

This is after the Department has received reports where teachers are being asked to accomplish and sign a waiver due to their physical attendance to their respective schools/offices.

Nakarating sa aming tanggapan ang ilang report tungkol sa mga guro at mga kawani ng DepEd na pinapipirma ng waiver upang sila ay pumasok sa opisina o paaralan.

Ipinaaalala ng DepEd na ayon sa DO 11, s. 2020, ang physical reporting ay hindi mandatory at kinakailangang ikonsulta sa empleyado. Ang mga waiver na nag-a-authorize sa DepEd personnel at mga guro na pumasok ay walang legal effect.

Ang pagpasok sa opisina o paaralan ay ikokonsidera lamang kung ang task o function ay hindi maaaring gawin sa pamamagitan ng alternative at remote work arrangements. - DepEd
