Does the exercise of independent judgment affect the holiday pay of managerial staff?
Relating directly to the exceptions under Article 94 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, managerial staff must customarily and regularly exercise discretion and independent judgment to be exempted. This fundamentally means their daily tasks cannot be purely mechanical or heavily dictated by rigid, unyielding company manuals. The law officially recognizes that employees entrusted with significant independent decision-making possess a much higher organizational status. Consequently, this elevated corporate status safely removes them from the general workforce group legally entitled to statutory holiday pay. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
