Labor policy in the Philippines

The labor policy in the Philippines is primarily defined by the Labor Code of the Philippines and other related labor laws. As of 2025, these laws apply to approximately 38 million Filipinos who are part of the labor force, including, to some extent, overseas workers. They are intended to establish the legal rights of workers and set limitations concerning the hiring process, working conditions, employee benefits, labor policymaking within companies, and employer-employee relations.

The Labor Code and other labor legislation are implemented mainly by government agencies, including the Department of Labor and Employment and the Department of Migrant Workers (formerly the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration). Non-governmental entities, such as trade unions and employer organizations, also contribute to the development and enforcement of labor standards in the country.
