How does a paid leave of absence legally affect entitlement to regular holiday pay?
In strict accordance with the absence rules for Article 94 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, an approved paid leave directly protects holiday pay. All covered employees confidently remain fully entitled to their standard holiday pay when they are on a formally approved leave of absence with pay on the workday immediately preceding the regular holiday. Because the preceding day is officially and legally compensated, the critical continuity of employment for holiday purposes is flawlessly maintained. Therefore, the worker legally receives the 100% unworked holiday benefit seamlessly. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
