SEN. Manuel “Lito” M. Lapid on Tuesday filed Senate Bill No. 1511, which pushes to raise the number of paid service incentive leave credits granted to qualified employees from five to 10.
The proposed measure seeks to amend a provision of the Labor Code of the Philippines, which stipulates that “every employee who has rendered at least one year of service shall be entitled to a yearly service incentive leave of five days.” Lapid argued that increasing the grant of paid leaves is not only advantageous on the part of the employees, but that of the employers as well.upang ang ating mga manggagawa ay magkaroon ng pahanon para sa kani-kanilang mga pamilya, makapag-bakasyon at makapaglaan ng oras sa sarili.
Additional leaves are, likewise, beneficial to employers as this would improve the employees’ morale, well-being, and productivity, as well as employee retention. However, SBN 1511 retains exemptions under Presidential Decree No. 442, saying the proposed revision shall not apply to those who already enjoy a 10-day paid service incentive leave, those working in establishments which have less than 10 employees, and establishments exempted by the labor secretary.
