Book III — Conditions of Employment

ELI5— what this means for you

Under the original Labor Code, pregnant employees with at least 6 months of service were entitled to 2 weeks pre-delivery and 4 weeks post-delivery maternity leave with full pay — for the first 4 deliveries. This provision has been expanded significantly by RA 11210 (105-Day Expanded Maternity Leave Law).

Key point

Maternity leave today is governed by RA 11210 (105 days) — far more generous than this original article.
