Why are certain field personnel legally exempted from receiving premium pay benefits?
The complex legal framework surrounding Articles 91-93 of the Labor Code of the Philippines completely exempts specific field personnel from receiving premium pay. This directly applies if they regularly and customarily perform their assigned duties completely away from the principal office or branch of the employer. The primary legal justification for this rule is that their actual physical hours of work in the field cannot be determined with any reasonable certainty. Without a highly verifiable baseline of standard hours worked, legally calculating accurate premium pay for rest days becomes administratively impossible. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
