1. Continuous 24-hour Operations: The designated work center is required to operate ceaselessly, 24 hours a day.

2. Alignment with Department Competencies: The nature of the assigned employee’s work on the shift must align with the competencies of the respective department.

3. Biometric Attendance Verification: Employees assigned to any shift system must validate their attendance and departure through a biometric fingerprint verification process.

4. Organizational Competencies Requirement: The organizational competencies of the work center should necessitate the implementation of a shift system.

5. Restrictions on Shift Assignments: Secretaries, typists, administrators, and individuals handling information systems and technology functions cannot be assigned to the shift system without prior approval from the Bureau.

7. Exclusion from Salary Breakdown Certificate: Shift allowance, food allowance, and nightlife allowance are not permitted to be included in the salary breakdown certificate.

A structured and compliant approach to shift work assignments within government agencies will ensure alignment with organizational needs and employee competencies while maintaining transparency in compensation.
