Are agricultural workers fully covered by the benefits granted under the Labor Code?
The law inherently aims to be inclusive in protecting the diverse rights of workers. All rights and benefits granted under the Code broadly apply to all classes of workers. This definitively means agricultural workers enjoy the exact same benefits as non-agricultural workers. This universal applicability is confirmed in Article 6 Labor Code of the Philippines. “ART. 6. Applicability. – All rights and benefits granted to workers under this Code shall, except as may otherwise be provided herein, apply alike to all workers, whether agricultural or non-agricultural.” 30-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
