| Service | Entitlement |
|---|---|
| Entitlement | 5 days Service Incentive Leave (SIL) per year, after 1 year of service |
| Who is covered | Rank-and-file employees — exempt if your company already grants 5+ paid VL days, or has fewer than 10 workers |
| Commutable to cash | Yes — the only Labor Code leave type that must be converted to cash if unused |
| Formula | Daily rate × unused SIL days |
Vacation/sick leave beyond the 5-day SIL minimum is a company-policy benefit, not a Labor Code mandate — whether it is encashable depends on your employer's policy, not the law. Cross-checked against NDV Law. Source: Labor Law PH.
A minimum 5 days of paid leave per year that the Labor Code (Article 95) guarantees to rank-and-file employees with at least 1 year of service.
Yes — it is the only Labor Code-mandated leave type that must be commuted to cash if unused at year-end. Any additional vacation/sick leave your company grants is a policy benefit, and whether it is encashable depends on that policy.
Companies with fewer than 10 employees, and companies that already grant 5 or more days of paid vacation leave, are exempt from the SIL mandate specifically.
Your daily rate multiplied by the number of unused SIL days.
