SUBJECT:  SUMMER OFFICE HOURS.

In line with the government's energy conservation program and pursuant to the Civil Service Rules and Regulations prescribing office hours during summer or hot season, [RAC, Section 564, as amended by R. A. 1880, CSR; Rule XV, Section 2 (c)], the Chief Justice has authorized, effective April 16, 1985 to June 15, 1985, the reduction of office hours to five consecutive hours, from 8:00 o'clock in the morning to 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon, except Courts which do not have their own courtrooms and, therefore, have to hold sessions in the afternoon, which should hold office from 1:00 P.M. TO 5:00 P.M.

All Courts shall, however, maintain a skeleton force by rotation of the personnel thereof. Employees so designated shall observe regular office hours from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon and 12:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. daily.
