The orientation aims to appreciate and explain the laws on leave privileges under CSC Resolution No. 98-3142, s. 1998, the CSC adopts the amendments to Rule XVI Leave and the definitions of leave terms under Rule I of the Omnibus Civil Service Rules Implementing Book V of the Administrative Code of 1987 (Executive Order 292)
