Stoneworks Specialist · G.R. 252981

Petitioner: Stoneworks Specialist International Corporation
Respondent: Sa-onoy
Citation: G.R. No. 252981
Court: Supreme Court
Division: Second Division
Decided: February 10, 2021

Employee benefits - 13th month pay for 2017 and service incentive leave pay from 2016-2018

Summary

This Supreme Court Resolution involved Stoneworks Specialist International Corporation and Marilyn Ong challenging Court of Appeals' decisions awarding 13th month pay for 2017 and service incentive leave pay from 2016-2018 to fourteen employees. The Supreme Court denied the petition, finding no reversible error by the Court of Appeals. However, the Court modified the decision by imposing six percent interest per annum on monetary awards from finality until full payment. The case reinforces employers' obligations to provide statutory benefits including 13th month pay and service incentive leave pay to qualified employees who meet the twelve-month service requirement. The Resolution demonstrates the courts' consistent protection of workers' rights to mandated employment benefits under Philippine labor laws.
