DOLE Handbook of Workers' Statutory Monetary Benefits

The Handbook on Workers' Statutory Monetary Benefits provides a comprehenive outline of the mandatory benefits that workers are entitled to receive under the Labor Code and other existing laws. Pertinent provisions from existing legislations have been condensed in a single material to provide not only labor law enforcers, employees and employers but also teachers, students, researchers and the general public a clear grasp of minimum legal requirements concerning the workers' monetary and non-monetary benefits.

This 2014 Edition contains more detailed illustrations and sample computations based on existing regional minimum wage rates. The factors or divisors used to facilitate the computation of equivalent monthly rates for monthly and daily-paid workers have also been itemized for better appreciation.

Another significant addition is the enumeration of applicable minimum wage rates and benefits of the Kasambahay pursuant to Republic Act No. 10361 or Batas Kasambahay 

Despite the updates, this Handbook retains its simple and reader-friendly layout. This Handbook is a very important tool in sustaining our efforts towards better understanding of labor standards, improvement of working conditions, and promotion of a culture of voluntary compliance with labor standards among stakeholders. The back-page directory lists the addresses and contact details of DOLE offices for the public to send in their inquiries and feedbacks.

Consistent with our aim to bring DOLE’s services to the grassroots, this Handbook now comes in English and Filipino versions
