Is it a ULP for an employer to dismiss an employee for giving testimony under the Labor Code?
Retaliation against an employee for participating in labor proceedings is a serious legal offense. It is an unfair labor practice to dismiss, discharge, or otherwise prejudice an employee. This crucial protection applies to anyone who has given or is about to give testimony under the Code. This safeguard against employer retaliation is strictly enforced under Article 259 Labor Code of the Philippines. “(f) To dismiss, discharge or otherwise prejudice or discriminate against an employee for having given or being about to give testimony under this Code;” 01-Jun-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
