Ang Batas, Sa Simpleng Salita — your rights, finally explained.

ELI5— what this means for you

After one full year of service, you earn 5 days of paid Service Incentive Leave (SIL) per year. If you don't use them, your employer must convert unused SIL to cash at year-end. This is your legal floor — your contract or CBA may give more.

Key point

5 paid leave days per year after 1 year of service. Unused days = cash conversion.
