Labor Code · Working Conditions for Special Groups · Chapter III – Employment of Househelpers
Service of Termination Notice
Formerly Article 150 before the 2015 renumbering — court decisions before 2015 cite it this way.
If the duration of the household service is not determined either in stipulation or by the nature of the service, the employer or the househelper may give notice to put an end to the relationship five (5) days before the intended termination of the service.
Sec. 32 (Termination of Service) of R.A. No. 10361 states: “If the duration of the domestic service is not determined either in stipulation or by the nature of the service, the employer or the domestic worker may give notice to end the working relationship five (5) days before the intended termination of the service. The domestic worker and the employer may mutually agree upon written notice to pre-terminate the contract of employment to end the employment relationship.”
