Can existing maternity benefits be reduced due to the new law?
Existing maternity benefits that are more favorable to the worker cannot be reduced by the new law. This strict principle of non-diminution is explicitly stated in Republic Act No. 11210. If a company policy or collective bargaining agreement offers better benefits, the superior benefits prevail. Employers are legally prohibited from scaling back these pre-existing advantages to match the statutory minimum. 16-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
