When is an employee considered a seasonal worker and not a regular employee?
An employee is not considered a regular employee if their work or service is strictly seasonal in nature. For this classification to apply, the employment must be specifically for the duration of that particular season. If the engagement goes beyond the season or involves activities normally necessary to the regular business year-round, the regular employment rule may apply. This exception for seasonal workers acknowledges the fluctuating demands of certain industries and is defined in Article 295 Labor Code of the Philippines. “except where the employment has been fixed for a specific project or undertaking the completion or termination of which has been determined at the time of the engagement of the employee or where the work or service to be performed is seasonal in nature and the employment is for the duration of the season.” 02-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
