MANILA, Philippines — The year 2025 has ended, and a new year has begun.
There are many employees who had a merry Christmas, especially those who received generous bonuses from their employers. However, there may be those who did not receive any and are understandably disappointed.
The Labor Code of the Philippines provides that the wages and benefits already being given to an employee shall not be diminished. This is known as the prohibition against diminution of benefits, which is contained in Article 100 of the Labor Code.
An example of diminution of pay is the case of Nippon Paint Philippines Inc. v. Nippon Paint Philippines Employees Association (G.R. No. 229396, June 30, 2021), where it was the practice of the company to grant its employees holiday pay that was more than what was provided by law.
