Labor Law PH

LEARNING & RESOURCE SITE FOR PHILIPPINE LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT LAWS

Labor Law works for both employers and employees

“The law in protecting the rights of the laborer, authorizes neither oppression nor self-destruction of the employer. While the Constitution is committed to the policy of social justice and the protection of the working class, it should not be supposed that every labor dispute will be automatically decided in favor of labor. Management also has its own rights, which, as such, are entitled to respect and enforcement in the interest of simple fair play.”

Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company v. Honrado, G.R. No. 189366, December 8, 2010

Before Labor Law PH, there were barely any reliable online resources on Philippine employment and labor laws. While there were websites that posted actual labor laws, there were no legal discussions on how statutes and regulations were implemented or how they were to be interpreted.

Labor Law PH thus aims to provide for trusted and quality articles explaining how Philippine employment and labor laws operate and how they apply in particular situations.

Labor Law PH was built from scratch. It initially started as a blog to discuss certain key topics on Philippine labor and employment laws. Over the years, it grew into a resource site to help employers and employees understand and apply Philippine labor and employment laws in their workplaces.

The first several content focused on what most employers and employees need to know about Philippine employment and labor laws, such as the statutory monetary benefits, due process in disciplinary action, working conditions, and so on. Over time, additional topics specific to certain industries were added such as contracting & subcontracting, private security firms, etc.
