Conditions for entitlement of paternity leave benefits are:
- he is employed at the time of delivery of his child;
- he has notified his employer of the pregnancy of his wife and her expected date of delivery subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof; and
- his wife has given birth, suffers a miscarriage or an abortion.
As soon as the married male employee learns that his spouse is pregnant, he shall inform his employer of such pregnancy and the expected date of delivery within a reasonable period of time.
The employee shall accomplish a Paternity Notification Form to be provided for by the employer and submit the same to the latter, together with a copy of his marriage contract, or where not applicable, any proof of marriage. The notification requirement shall not apply in cases of miscarriage or abortion.
Any employee who has availed of the paternity benefits shall, within a reasonable period of time, submit a copy of the birth certificate of the newly born child, death or medical certificate in case of miscarriage or abortion, duly signed by the attending physician or midwife showing actual date of childbirth, miscarriage or abortion, as the case may be.
The paternity benefits may be enjoyed by the qualified employee before, during or after the delivery by his wife. The total number of days shall not exceed seven (7) working days for each delivery. This benefit shall be availed of not later than sixty (60) days after the date of said delivery.
The best proof of cohabitation is the affidavit. This template for Affidavit uses fictional name for purposes of illustration only. It contains the name, nationality, residence, and basic allegations.
It is important to state the place of cohabitation, the name of spouse, proof of valid marriage (marriage contract), validating proof of place of cohabitation (barangay captain’s certification), declaration of provision of support as spouses, and purpose of the Affidavit.
While it seems obvious, it should be properly signed and notarized.

Guide on Employee Compensation and Benefits Vol. 2
₱475.00Title: Guide on Employee Compensation and Benefits Vol. 2
Just how much should the company give as bonus? Just how many months of bonus should the company give without violating the law? If the company pays Christmas Bonus is it still required to pay 13th month pay? How about 14th and 15th month pay, should the company pay them also?
These are some of the perplexing questions that a typical HR practitioner encounters in his work. Most often, it is resolved in favor of the employees resulting in increased manpower cost on the part of the company.
The rules on 13th month pay and Christmas Bonus are discussed in this book. When to pay them and when not to are explained using the law and jurisprudence. Companies are not required to pay 14th, 15th month pay, and so forth, unless they are stipulated already in the CBA or any contract for that matter. But they are not legally mandated benefits.
How about productivity incentive bonuses, signing bonus, etc.? This book also offers explanation why some should be paid and the rest should not be.
Then comes the issue on leaves. Question like is there such thing as vacation leave in the Labor Code? Why can’t I find it? There is none because the Labor Code only provides for service incentive leave. There are other leave benefits discussed in this work like paternal, paternity and for women who are victims of violence.
This book also deals with issues on
- employee cash bonds, deposits
- authorized deductions
- the rules on employee compensation for disability, sickness, etc.
