Republic Act No. 11058 An Act concerns the strengthening compliance of occupational safety and health standards and in providing penalties for violations in safety and health rules and regulations. It is established by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). With the RA 11058, employers are now required to comply with occupational safety and health standards including informing workers on all types of hazards in the workplace and having the right to refuse unsafe work, as well as providing facilities and personal protective equipment for the workers, among others.

In the Philippines, the primary legislation protecting workers is the Labor Code of the Philippines. Presidential Decree No. 442, s. 1974, commonly referred to as the Labor Code of the Philippines, is the primary piece of legislation surrounding the rights of workers. Wors Bi gs A. Equal Work Opportunities for All The State shall protect labor, promote full employment, promote equal work opportunity regardless of gender, race, or creed; and regulate employee-employer relations. For instance, male and female employees are expected to receive equal pay for the same amount of work (Art. 135 (1), Labor Code). This also means that discrimination against female employees, such as requiring them to remain unmarried as a requirement for employment is forbidden by law (Art. 136, Labor Code). (Ar. 135 (1), Lab e). Article 135. Discrimination prohibited. It shall be unlawful for any employer to discriminate against any woman employee with respect to terms and conditions of employment solely on account of her sex. The following are acts of discrimination: (a) Payment of a lesser compensation, including wage, salary or other form of remuneration and fringe benefits, to a female employee as against a male employee, for work of equal value; and (b) Favoring a male employee over a female employee with respect to promotion, training opportunities, study and scholarship grant solely on account of their sexes. Article 136. Stipulation against marriage. It shall be unlawful for an employer to require as a condition of employment or continuation of employment that a woman employee shall not get married, or to stipulate expressly or tacitly that upon getting married a woman employee shall be deemed resigned or separated or to actually dismiss, discharge, discriminate or otherwise prejudice a woman employee merely by reason of her marriage.

A probationary employee’s failure to meet the standards made and informed to him by the employer upon hiring is also a just cause for dismissal. Authorized cause , meanwhile, refers to economic circumstances that are beyond the employee’s control, such as redundancy and retrenchment. Workers Basic Rights C. or s Wor s A work day is any day during which an employee is regularly required to work. Work hours refer to the time an employee renders work.

(b) The employer shall determine and schedule the weekly rest day of his employees, subject to collective agreement and to such rules and regulations as the Secretary of Labor and Employment may provide.
