Attorney, we are relocating some of our employees to Clark, Pampanga. The Management has decided to give them extra compensation of 2K per month because they will be uprooted from Manila and removed from their families. Management plans to classify this as hardship pay.My questions are:
1) Is there such pay as hardship pay?
2) If yes, is the employer mandated to justify to DOLE or BIR giving hardship pay?
3) Do being uprooted from one's hometown and being away from one's family constitute hardship?
