Good to know: Each unused leave day is usually paid at your daily rate. Private employees: up to 12 days of monetized unused VACATION leave a year are tax-free (RR 29-2025); sick leave conversion and VL above 12 days count as “other benefits”, tax-free only within the ₱90,000 yearly limit shared with your 13th month. Government employees: monetized vacation and sick leave are all tax-free. Service Incentive Leave (5 days for employees with 1 year of service) must be converted to cash if unused at year end. Based on DOLE rules (Labor Code and the DOLE Handbook on Workers’ Statutory Monetary Benefits), checked November 10, 2026. Your company policy or CBA may give more.
