    Study Notes

    Labor Law Overview

    • Labor Law in the Philippines is highly regulated, governing employer-employee relationships and ensuring rights and obligations.
    • Social Legislation protects workers from hazards affecting employment and aims to uplift the welfare of employees and their families.

    Key Principles of Labor

    • Respect for Human Dignity ensures the acknowledgment of every individual’s worth in the workplace.
    • Self-Organization allows workers to form unions and associations.
    • Security of Tenure protects employees from arbitrary dismissal.
    • Sharing the Fruits of Labor emphasizes equitable compensation.

    Rights of Employers and Workers

    • Employers have the right to terminate employment and manage operations.
    • Workers are entitled to minimum wage, collective bargaining agreements, job security, equal employment opportunities, and reasonable working hours.

    Classifications of Labor Law

    • Labor Relations regulates interactions between employers and workers, including collective bargaining and unfair labor practices.
    • Labor Standards prescribe minimum employment terms, addressing wages, working conditions, and employee benefits.
    • Labor Law is rooted in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, Supreme Court decisions, and the Labor Code, alongside special statutes and DOLE regulations.

    Employment Relationships

    • Labor Law is applicable only within established employer-employee relationships.
    • Third parties like recruitment agencies and unions can also fall under certain provisions of Labor Law.

    Exemptions from Labor Law

    • No employer-employee relationship exists in certain scenarios, such as between principals and agents or project owners and contractors.

    Four-Fold Test for Employment

    • Selection and engagement of employees, payment of wages, power of dismissal, and control over employee conduct determine the existence of an employment relationship.

    Management Prerogatives

    • Employers can set workplace rules, enforce disciplines, and manage operations within legal boundaries.
    • Disciplinary measures are within management’s discretion but must be exercised fairly.

    Control Test

    • The employer’s power to direct the outcome of work and how it is done establishes control over the employee, which is evidence of an employment relationship.

    Factors in Determining Employment Nature

    • The nature of employment considers the type of work performed, the employer’s business scope, and duration of tasks, not solely the employer's wishes.

    Importance of Labor Contract Laws

    • Labor contracts are subject to public interest, prioritizing labor rights over contract stipulations contrary to laws and good customs.

    Autonomy in Employment Contracts

    • While parties can negotiate terms freely, stipulations violating labor rights, like denying overtime, are not permitted.

    Public Interest in Labor Relations

    • Labor laws prioritize the common good, ensuring contracts align with public policy and provide full protection to labor against exploitation and unfair practices.
