Does Service Incentive Leave apply to establishments with less than ten employees?
Employees working in very small establishments are excluded from the Service Incentive Leave requirement. Specifically, Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Philippines exempts establishments regularly employing less than ten employees. This provision protects micro-businesses from the financial and operational burden of mandatory paid leaves. Workers in these small enterprises must rely entirely on voluntary employer policies for such benefits. 16-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
