Four-day Work/Classes For Summer 2007-2008 (Compressed Workweek Scheme)

In line with the serious efforts of the University to cut its energy cost, we are taking one step further to reduce our utility consumption by adopting on an experimental basis, the “Compressed Workweek Program” this summer 2008. Considering that just about 30% of students are enrolled during the summer term, whatever savings that can be brought about by the program can augment the budget for the other needs of the University that require economic support.

Also, the Administration believes that both employees and students will benefit from the scheme in terms of cost savings from daily transportation and meal expenses.

Finally, it will allow the school more time to conduct general cleaning of its entire premises and movable properties in preparation for the incoming school year. In compliance with the requirements of the CHED, DOLE – NCR, and agreement with the AUFEA, the University is implementing the Compressed Workweek Scheme this Summer 2008 under the following guidelines and limitations:
