What employee benefits are lacking in the Philippines?

Employees in the Philippines are only legally entitled to a 5-day paid service incentive leave, and companies are not mandatory by law to offer their employees paid sick leave.

However, generally respectable employers in the Philippines who hire professionals will offer an average of 15 days of paid vacation and 15 days of paid sick leave. But it depends solely on the employer's decision.

  The service sector's contribution to the country's GDP growth from 36% in 1980 to 60% in 2020 is a remarkable industrial fact in the Philippines.

To compete with the numerous opportunities the international BPO industries provide, employers should offer competitive benefits like working from anywhere and flexible work schedules.
