Can an unused Paternity Leave be converted into cash?
Unused paternity leave cannot be legally converted into its monetary equivalent by the employee. Republic Act No. 8187 strictly prohibits the conversion of this specific leave to cash under any circumstance. The law strictly intends for the leave to be used solely for the purpose of family support. If the father chooses not to take the days off, he forfeits the benefit entirely. 16-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
