Separation Pay

As a general rule, an employee who has been dismissed for any of the just causes enumerated under Article 282 of the Labor Code is not entitled to separation pay. Although by way of exception, the grant of separation pay or some other financial assistance may be allowed to an employee dismissed for just causes on the basis of equity (Nissan Motors Phils., Inc. Vs. Victorino Angelo, G.R. No. 164181. September 14, 2011).
