July 25, 2020 Dear Ma Christina Miraballes, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Jul 22, 2020 12:41:59 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for clarification on the grant of separation pay. May we refer you to Articles 298 and 299 of the Labor Code of the Philippines as renumbered. These provisions do not distinguish the type or length of employment for entitlement for separation pay. For as long as the reason for termination is due to authorized cause, the worker shall receive as part of his/her separation pay an amount not less than one month pay. Thus, at a minimum, you are entitled for at least one month pay separation pay since the reason for your termination shall fall under the category of authorized cause. Attached herewith is a soft copy of the 2020 Edition of the DOLE’s Handbook of Workers’ Statutory Monetary Benefits, for your reference. The opinion was rendered based on the facts that were presented. Any information that may have been inadvertently omitted may change the opinion that was rendered. Thank you. Respectfully, Mark Valeros FOI Receiving Officer
