TL;DR · 核心要点

菲律宾劳工部(DOLE)发布新规,明确员工离职时最终薪资支付时限及离职证明(COE)签发要求。核心要点:1)最终薪资须在劳动关系终止后7个工作日内全额支付;2)COE须在员工提出请求后3个工作日内签发,且须载明职位、入职/离职日期、最后薪资及工作表现等法定信息;3)不得以未完成交接或未归还物品为由扣减工资;4)电子COE具同等法律效力,但须经员工书面同意;5)违规企业将面临DOLE行政调查及赔偿责任。该规定强化了雇主在劳动关系终结环节的法定义务,要求企业立即更新HR流程、修订离职协议模板,并对HR团队开展专项培训,避免因程序瑕疵引发劳资纠纷或行政处罚。

✅ 合规行动清单 · Compliance Checklist

  • 在员工劳动关系终止后7个工作日内全额支付最终薪资(含13薪、未休年假折算、解雇补偿等),不得以任何理由延迟或扣减。
  • 收到员工书面申请后3个工作日内签发法定内容完整的纸质或电子版COE,并保留员工同意使用电子COE的签字记录。
  • 立即修订公司《离职管理流程》和《离职确认单》,删除‘以完成交接为付款前提’等违法条款,并组织HR团队进行DOLE最新指引培训。
  • Pay all final wages—including unpaid salaries, 13th-month pay, converted service incentive leave, and separation benefits—within 7 working days of employment termination.
  • Issue a legally compliant Certificate of Employment (COE) within 3 working days of the employee’s written request; retain signed consent if issuing electronically.
  • Revise internal separation checklists and HR policies to remove any clause conditioning final pay on clearance, return of property, or managerial approval.

English Summary

The Philippines Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issued binding guidelines mandating strict timelines for final pay settlement and Certificate of Employment (COE) issuance upon employee separation. Employers must settle all final wages—including unpaid salaries, 13th-month pay, service incentive leave conversion, and separation pay—within seven (7) working days after termination. The COE must be issued within three (3) working days of the employee’s written request and include mandatory details: position held, dates of employment, last salary received, and nature of work performed. Withholding final pay due to pending clearance or unreturned property is prohibited. Electronic COEs are permitted only with the employee’s prior written consent. These rules apply to all private-sector employers, including foreign-invested companies operating in the Philippines. Non-compliance may trigger DOLE inspections, administrative fines, and civil liability for wage-related claims. Foreign businesses must review payroll systems, update HR policies, and train local staff to ensure adherence.

常见问题解答

员工主动辞职,公司是否仍需在7天内付清所有款项?+
是的。DOLE明确规定,无论离职原因为何(辞职、解雇、合同到期),最终薪资均须在劳动关系终止后7个工作日内全额支付,包括应计未付工资、13薪、未休年假折算等法定项目,不得以‘试用期未满’或‘未交接完毕’为由延迟。
COE能否只写职位和在职时间,不写薪资?+
不可以。DOLE要求COE必须载明:职位名称、入职与离职日期、最后月薪金额、工作性质及表现概述。遗漏薪资信息属不合规,员工可向DOLE投诉,企业将被责令补发并可能面临行政警告。
外籍员工是否适用同一COE规则?+
完全适用。DOLE指南未区分国籍,所有在菲注册雇主雇佣的员工(含持9G、SRRV签证的外国人)均享有同等权利。COE须以英文出具,内容符合本地法定格式。
公司能否要求员工签收‘放弃追索权’声明以换取COE?+
无效且违法。DOLE明令禁止将COE签发与任何形式的弃权声明挂钩。此类条款违反《劳动法典》第12条,自始无效,员工仍可就欠薪、加班费等主张权利。
电子COE是否被DOLE认可?需要什么条件?+
认可,但须满足两个条件:1)员工事先签署书面同意使用电子形式;2)文件具备可验证性(如PDF带数字签名或通过公司认证邮箱发送)。无书面同意即发电子版,视为未履行法定义务。
