Employee Income BenefitsChapter VIII, Book IV of the Labor Code of the Philippines detail the provisions common to the program's several employee income benefits: Chapter V Medical Benefits, Chapter VI Disability Benefits and Chapter VII Death Benefits.

The provisions common to these employee income benefits are determined by the Medical Director of the System and then approved by the Employees' Compensation Commission. The term "employee" still denotes to the person who is legally employed in the Republic of the Philippines, or any person compulsorily covered by the GSIS under the Commonwealth Act 186, or any person compulsorily covered by the SSS under Republic Act 1161.

The provisions under this title are as follows:

Article 195, Relationship and Dependency
Only at the time of death of a covered employee, or of a member of the government health care programs (SSS, GSIS) shall all questions of relationship and dependency shall be addressed.

Article 196, Delinquent Contributions
Article 196 covers mostly the failure of the employer(s)'s part, and by extension the company's failure to make timely monthly contributions to the program, whose employee benefits may have been enjoyed by his/her employees or their dependents.

Article 197, Second Injuries
If an employee who is already covered by the Permanent Partial Disability program suffers another subsequent injury which results to his qualification to a higher employee income benefit than his previous injury, he/she shall be offered by the State Insurance Fund the income benefit for the new disability, provided only that the new disability should be related to his/her previous disability. The System shall only pay the compensation difference of both original and upgraded employee income benefits.

Article 198, Assignment of Benefits
Compensation claims under this Title is neither transferable nor liable to tax, garnishment, attachment, seizure or levy by or any other legal process whatsoever, by the person(s) entitled thereto, either before or after receipt.

Article 199, Earned Benefits
Under a Collective Bargaining (or other forms of agreement) and in accordance with this title, a covered employee should receive the employee income benefits if he/she is entitled to receive wages, salaries or allowances for holidays, vacation or sick leaves and any other award of benefit - with respect to the episode of his/her disability.

Article 200, Safety Devices
This provision protects the interest of the state in case of the employer(s)'s negligence to install and maintain safety devices, or to comply with any law resulting to an employee's injury or death.
