How does an employee’s output rate legally affect their entitlement to standard premium pay?
Under the detailed exemptions for Articles 91-93 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, workers paid entirely by results face highly specific premium pay rules. Employees officially paid on piece rate, takay, pakyaw, or task basis are excluded from mandatory premium pay if their output rates precisely meet prescribed legal standards. Specifically, these output rates must be strictly in accordance with official regulations or have been firmly fixed by the Secretary of Labor and Employment. If these officially sanctioned rates are correctly utilized, the employer is legally shielded from any additional premium pay obligations. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
