What law provides minimum wage exemptions for certain micro enterprises?
Barangay Micro Business Enterprises (BMBEs) are exempt from the Minimum Wage Law under Republic Act No. 9178. To qualify for this exemption, the enterprise must engage in specific activities like production, agro-processing, trading, or services, and have total assets not exceeding ₱3,000,000.00. The Department of Trade and Industry issues the required Certificate of Authority for this exemption. Even with this exemption, the law mandates that employees still receive regular social security and healthcare benefits. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
