Who bears unpaid wages if a contract is pre-terminated?
Under Article 298 of the Labor Code of the Philippines and DO 174, the party at fault assumes liability. This covers unpaid wages, SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and ECC legal mandatory contributions. The liability arises when termination is not due to authorized causes. This is without prejudice to solidary liability. 18-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
