Department of Labor and Employment(DOLE)

January 10, 2023 Dear Meldrick Figueras, Thank you for your request dated Jan 09, 2023 09:46:39 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for Use of paid vacation leave. Resignation is the termination of employment initiated by the employee. That is, the employee voluntarily decides to end their employment and clearly communicates that decision to the employer. As per labor laws, employees resigning of their own volition need to give their companies notice of 30 days. This is to give employers ample time to find a replacement to the resigned employee and seamless turnover of tasks to the new employee, However, an employee can take personal leave whilst they are serving their notice period after resigning. The employee must notify the employer as soon as possible and provided reasonable evidence (eg a medical certificate) if the employer requires it.
