A four-day workweek will be implemented in the offices of the provincial government of Cavite starting tomorrow until July 31 as temperatures continue to rise due to El Niño.
Citing the warning of the state weather bureau that temperatures may reach "extreme danger" levels in the coming months, a 7 a.m. to p.m. work schedule will be observed from Monday to Thursday, Cavite Gov. Jonvic Remulla said under Executive Order No. 19 issued on Friday.
Remulla noted that Cavite is among the areas that have recorded extremely high temperatures.
He said "reducing exposure to extreme heat may mitigate its harmful effects" on people transacting with the provincial government as well as ensure the health and productivity of employees and officials.
A compressed workweek was earlier implemented by the Bacoor city government under an EO issued by Mayor Strike Revilla on April 22.
The move is seen to reduce electricity and water consumption as well as improve overall productivity.
