Separation Pay

Hi,

I worked in a Multinational Engineering Company in the Philippines from 2007- 2016 , I worked for almost 9years.

I decided to resigned last January 2016 to accept the overseas offer.

I haven't get the final pay from my previous company and planning to get the said final claim once I finished my contract as overseas by next year.

Working as overseas I met and talked to some other colleagues who also file resignation upon acceptance of their overseas offer and as per them they got service separation pay from their company.

My question , am I entitled to a service separation pay or can I demand to the company to pay me for a service separation pay?

Is service separation pay a mandatory?

I am asking this because I am not fully aware on our labor laws in the philippines... the only I know is if the employee is being terminated without just cause that's the time the company will pay to the employee..

Other company are give service separation pay upon working five years or more I do aware of that .. and before I ask my previous company once I get my quit claim/final pay I just want to be aware if I have the right to ask / demand for a service separation pay aside from the final pay/quit claim .

Hoping for an advise from you.

depends on the companies policy. It is not mandated by govt if it was the employee who resigned

Separation pay is required by law only in case of separation due to authorized causes, and not in case of resignations. Try reading this, I hope it helps. https://www.alburovillanueva.com/authorized-causes-termination-employment
