| REVISITING LABOR AND RELATED LAWS ENACTED AFTER THE PROMULGATION OF THE LABOR CODE |
 When the Labor Code of the Philippines was drafted and promulgated on May 1, 1974, all existing labor laws were revised, codified and integrated between its two covers. Since then, the Labor Code has been the subject of a number of amendments which included additional labor standards and other workers' rights. At the same time, new labor and related laws were enacted independent of the Labor Code which provided new or additional labor standards as well as amendments to existing rights and obligations arising from employer-employee relationship.
In line with this, ECOP is set to conduct a half-day seminar on September 9 which will focus on the review of the most important and relevant labor and related laws that were enacted after the promulgation of the Labor Code in 1971 including the most common issues arising in the course of their implementation.
These labor and related laws are the following:
