Under the Labor Code of the Philippines and DOLE guidelines, your final pay — which includes unpaid wages, pro-rated 13th month pay, unused leave conversions, and other earned benefits — must be released within 30 days from the date of separation, unless a more favorable company policy or CBA applies. If your employer has not released your final pay after 30 days, you have the following remedies: (1) File a complaint before the nearest DOLE Regional/Field Office for assistance; (2) File a money claims case before the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC); or (3) Send a formal demand letter through a lawyer as a first step. Document all evidence of employment (payslips, contract, ID) before filing. We recommend consulting a labor lawyer to assess the exact amount owed and the strongest approach for your case.
