October 18, 2021 Dear Jeonabhee Palomaria, Thank you for your request dated Oct 17, 2021 10:22:56 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for 14 day Pandemic Leave. Currently, there is NO law yet, compelling employers to provide a 14 day pandemic leave for workers who were stricken with COVID 19 or are declared as close contacts of COVID 19 positive patients. Hence the NO WORK, NO PAY POLICY shall apply to these situations. For COVID 19 positive patients, their absences may be covered by the SSS sickness benefit. However, this shall not include close contacts as current practice only allows them to charge these absences to available leave credits in the absence of a favorable company policy or CBA. However, the DOLE is continuously appealing to employers to either provide these close contact workers paid quarantine leave or engaged them to work from home arrangements when feasible. For the record, the DOLE is supportive to the current proposed laws on paid pandemic leave currently filed in HOR and Senate. Thank you. Respectfully, Mark Valeros FOI Receiving Officer
