Do retail and service establishments have a legal obligation to provide holiday pay?
According to the specific rules under Article 94 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, certain retail and service establishments are legally exempted from paying holiday pay. Specifically, this vital exemption applies strictly to establishments that are regularly employing less than ten workers. The underlying rationale behind this rule is to protect micro-enterprises from excessive financial burdens that could threaten their daily operations. Workers in these very small retail and service businesses therefore do not legally receive this standard holiday compensation. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
