What is a Paternity Leave in PH?

A Paternity Leave in the Philippines (PH) allows all male employees to take seven (7) days paternity leave to bond with and care for their newborn child and family. This is in accordance with Philippine Labor Law.

Duration

Male employees are entitled to a 7-day paternity leave for each of the first four deliveries (including childbirth, miscarriage, or emergency termination of pregnancy) of their legitimate spouse and the leave should be taken within 60 calendar days from the date of their child's birth.

How would this look like in my invoice/billing?

Paternity leave will simply look like a leave with pay and will not have a separate breakdown in your invoice.

My employee is not yet a regular employee, are they eligible for this?

Regardless of employment status (regular, probationary), you are eligible for this.
