De Lima is pushing for the passage of Senate Bill No. 2307, which is a counterpart measure of House Bill No. 7909, filed by party list group Gabriela Women’s Party, and backed by 21 labor groups.SB 2307 also provides a maximum of 60 days of paid leave credits at 80 percent of the employee’s full pay for those who were placed on “floating status.”
In April 2021, De Lima filed SB 2148 seeking to grant 10 working days of paid COVID-19 leave for employees who contracted the virus and who, because of the nature of their occupation, cannot avail of a telecommuting program or work-from-home scheme. While the bill is pending, labor groups said the government should use its savings from the budget and “excessive” funds of military and police, as quarantine pay for workers, De Lima said.
“We join the calls of many people, whether social media, offices, factories, homes or the streets, for our workers to be given attention by the government that has long played deaf,” she said.For more information on COVID-19, call the DOH Hotline: 86517800 local 1149/1150.
