Are government employees legally entitled to statutory holiday pay?
Based on the coverage provisions of Article 94 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, government employees are explicitly exempted from receiving statutory holiday pay. This strict exemption applies whether they are employed by the National Government or any of its respective political subdivisions. Furthermore, it includes employees working in government-owned and/or controlled corporations that possess original charters or were created under special laws. These government individuals are instead governed by separate civil service rules rather than these general private sector labor regulations. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
