Labor Code of the Philippines: The primary legal framework governing employment relations, social laws, and workers' rights in the Philippines. It was promulgated as Presidential Decree No. 442 of 1974, as amended and renumbered, to protect labor, promote employment, and ensure industrial peace based on social justice.
Declaration of Basic Policy: The fundamental aim of the Labor Code, as stated in Article 3, is for the State to afford protection to labor, promote full employment, and ensure equal work opportunities regardless of sex, race, or creed. It also emphasizes the regulation of relations between workers and employers, and the rights of workers to self-organization, collective bargaining, security of tenure, and humane working conditions.
Construction in Favor of Labor: All doubts in the interpretation and implementation of the Labor Code, including its rules and regulations, shall be resolved in favor of labor. This principle ensures that ambiguities are interpreted to benefit workers' rights and protections.
