📣JUST IN: DepEd issues Guidelines on the Grant of Wellness Leave

The Department of Education (DepEd) has released the DepEd Order No. 002, s. 2026 – Guidelines on the Grant of Wellness Leave for the Department of Education Personnel.

All eligible DepEd employees, including teachers and directly engaged Contract of Service (COS) and Job Order (JO) personnel, can avail themselves of the Wellness Leave (WL) for mental health care, physical activities, or a general break for a maximum of five (5) days, pursuant to Civil Service Commission (CSC) Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 01, s. 2026.

🌱 Ultimately, this policy acknowledges the critical role of mental health and well-being, providing DepEd personnel with the necessary flexibility to prioritize self-care without exhausting their existing leave credits.
