Who is not entitled to separation pay? | 13 November 2024

Intellectual property rights, including copyright, trademark, and patent protections, each cover distinct aspects of creative works, innovations, and brand identities. These forms of protection serve unique purposes and are governed by separate sets of laws and regulations. As such, it is important to recognize their differences to avoid confusion and ensure accurate application in legal contexts.

We hold that henceforth separation pay shall be allowed as a measure of social justice only in those instances where the employee is validly dismissed for causes other than serious misconduct or those reflecting on his moral character. Where the reason for the valid dismissal is, for example, habitual intoxication or an offense involving moral turpitude, like theft or illicit sexual relations with a fellow worker, the employer may not be required to give the dismissed employee separation pay, or financial assistance, or whatever other name it is called, on the ground of social justice (Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. v. NLRC, G.R. No. 80609 August 23, 1988)
