Are workers in Barangay Micro Business Enterprises covered by standard wage orders?
Workers employed by duly registered Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBEs) are exempt from standard wage orders. This specific exemption is explicitly stated under the provisions of Republic Act No. 10644. To qualify for this exemption, the BMBE must possess a valid Certificate of Authority. Despite this exemption from minimum wage laws, the workers are still legally entitled to receive regular social security and health care benefits. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
