Hi, I would like to know if an employee is not yet regular with the employer (Public and Private) is the employee can still avail or still entitled for that benefit or only regular employees are entitled for this benefit? Is there any monetary value that will be provided by Public and Private sectors?

October 31, 2023 Dear Charles Benedict Ignacio, Thank you for your request dated Oct 29, 2023 06:41:55 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for WHO ARE ENTITLED FOR BEREAVEMENT LEAVE. Currently, there is no enabling law that provides for bereavement leave in the country. What the labor code provides is only the 5 days Service Incentive Leave. Bereavement leaves, Annual Vacation, Sick Leave, and other similar leaves are all part of the company's good practice or collective bargaining agreement in the private sector. There were a number of Bills filed in the Senate and House of Representatives on the grant of - bereavement leave for the public and private sectors. The most recent is House Bill No. 4340, in which private and public sector employees would be entitled to seven days of paid bereavement leave following the death of a spouse, biological or adoptive parents or child, or a full or half-blood brother or sister. The proposed measure allows employees to take a leave from work to grieve and recover from the loss without sacrificing his/her income. Until the proposed law is enacted, the grant of bereavement leave for private sector employees shall remain voluntary and its guidelines shall be within the discretion of employers in the private sector.
