What is the employer’s obligation regarding PhilHealth premiums for women on maternity leave?
Employers are strictly mandated to ensure that the premium contributions of female employees on maternity leave are regularly remitted. They cannot use the employee’s temporary absence and lack of wage as an excuse to suspend PhilHealth payments. This requirement guarantees the continued medical coverage of the employee during her recovery. This specific obligation is officially enforced pursuant to DOLE Department Advisory No. 1, Series of 2019. 18-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
