Question 1

1. Do I get paid if I cannot go to work because of a typhoon?

Accepted Answer

If your workplace, residence, or commuting route is affected by a government suspension order, you may stay home. Employers are not required to pay wages for that day unless company policy states otherwise.

Question 2

2. What if only my commuting route is affected, but not my workplace?

Accepted Answer

You are still entitled to typhoon leave. If the suspension applies to your commuting route, you do not need to report to work.

Question 3

3. If I still go to work on a typhoon day, do I get extra pay?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. If it is a regular workday, you receive your normal salary. Extra pay or bonuses depend on the company’s internal policies. If it falls on a rest day, then overtime rules apply.

Question 4

4. What if schools are closed but my workplace is not?

Accepted Answer

Parents may apply for family caregiving leave. Employers cannot penalize employees for taking this leave, but wages for the day may be counted as personal leave.

Question 5

5. Do typhoon days count as public holidays?

Accepted Answer

No. Typhoon suspensions are safety measures, not official holidays. They do not grant public holiday benefits.

Question 6

6. Can an employer refuse my typhoon leave?

Accepted Answer

No. If the government has announced a suspension that affects your residence, workplace, or commute, your employer cannot legally require you to come to work.
