How should doubts in interpreting the Labor Code be legally resolved?
Disputes and ambiguities frequently arise in interpreting laws. When doubts exist in the implementation of the Labor Code, they must never burden the worker. All such doubts shall be strictly resolved in favor of labor. This cardinal rule of statutory construction is established in Article 4 Labor Code of the Philippines. “ART. 4. Construction in Favor of Labor. – All doubts in the implementation and interpretation of the provisions of this Code, including its implementing rules and regulations, shall be resolved in favor of labor.” 30-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
