Hi! I would like to file a sabbatical leave in my current employment as I will undergo radiation therapy soon due to Stage 4 lung cancer. I would like to know the law on sabbatical leave and its process in order to file it immediately. In relation to my case, are there also other types of leave that I may exhaust?

October 31, 2023 Dear Ayesha Guada Mero, Thank you for your request dated Oct 29, 2023 09:41:33 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for Sabbatical leave/Options for Filing a Leave for Cancer Patients Employed in the Private Sector. Sabbatical leave is part of management prerogative and not all employers provide for such. A sabbatical leave generally has a period of not more than six (6) months. In the event that the purpose of the leave shall be accomplished within a period of less than six (6) months, the unused portion of the leave shall be forfeited and shall not be added to the official's vacation or sick leave. The filing and approval shall be to the employer and coursed through the company’s HR. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has issued Labor Advisory No. 20-2023 Guidelines on the Cancer Prevention and Control in Private Establishments wherein leave for cancer patients for treatment is highly encouraged. Our responses were made based only on the facts that were presented. This opinion shall not be used in any administrative or court proceedings as this may change based on any undisclosed information vital to the issues presented.

Respectfully, Mark Valeros FOI Receiving Officer
