Article 91
PD 442 · Labor Code of the PhilippinesELI5 guide available
ELI5— what this means for you
You have a legal right to at least one full day off (24 consecutive hours) after every 6 consecutive normal workdays. Your employer decides which day, but cannot deny it entirely. Religious preferences for the rest day must be respected.
Key point
One full rest day per 6 workdays — it's a right, not a privilege.
