REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7641



SECTION 3. Retirement under CBA/contract. 

3.1 Any employee may retire or be retired by his employer 
upon reaching the retirement age established in the collective 
bargaining agreement or other applicable employment contract 
or retirement plan subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof 
on the payment of retirement benefits. 

3.2 In case of retirement under this Section, the employee 
shall be entitled to receive such retirement benefits as he may

have earned under existing laws and any collective bargaining 
agreement and other agreements; provided, however, that an 
employee’s retirement benefits under any collective bargaining 
and other agreements shall not be less than those provided 
under this Rule, and provided further that if such benefits are 
less, the employer shall pay the difference between the amount 
due the employee under this Rule and that provided under the 
collective or individual agreement or retirement plan. 
3.3 Where both the employer and the employee contribute to 
a retirement fund in accordance with an individual or collective 
agreement or other applicable employment contract, the 
employer’s total contribution thereto shall not be less than the 
total retirement benefits to which the employee would have 
been entitled had there been no such retirement fund. In case 
the employer’s contribution is less than the retirement benefits 
provided under this Rule, the employer shall pay the deficiency.
