Description
The Labor Code is a set of substantive and procedural laws that prescribe the principal rights and responsibilities of employers, employees and other industrial participants, as well as the role of Government, in employment and related activities, so as to institute social justice. The Labor Code lays down the fundamental rights and correlative obligation of employers and employees to each other, such as those about work days and work hours, wage and wage protection, validity of dismissal as well as the processes of unionization and collective bargaining. Those substantive rights are enforceable through procedures prescribed in the Code, devised by either the parties themselves or the government in its role as regulator of employment relations.
