February 27, 2021 Dear Irvin James Ian Sumiquiab: Thank you for your request dated Feb 25, 2021 04:17:43 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for the possible legal reason for the employer to refuse all deferred holidays under Labor Advisory No. 31 Series of 2020. May we refer you to Article 94 of Labor Code of the Philippines as renumbered. It provided for exemptions on the payment of holiday pay as to those workers of retail and service establishments regularly employing less than ten (10) workers. The deferment for the payment of holiday pay on some of the holidays was issued by the DOLE in response to the pandemic. However, Labor Advisory No. 31 Series of 2020, requires all establishments that are not exempted from providing holiday pay (as enumerated in Article 94 of the Labor Code of the Philippines as renumbered), to pay their workers the unpaid holiday pay on or before 31 December 2020. You may file a complaint to DOLE Regional/Field Office if you haven’t received yet your deferred holiday pay as of this time. Attached herewith is an electronic copy of Handbook on Worker’s Statutory Monetary Benefits for your perusal. We hope that we have addressed your concerns. Respectfully, Mark Valeros FOI Decision Maker
