MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Lito Lapid filed Tuesday a bill pushing to raise the number of paid service incentive leave credits of qualified employees to ten from five.

 

Senate Bill No. 1511 seeks to amend the provision in the Labor Code of the Philippines, which says 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 to workers, but their employers as well.
