Who is held criminally liable if a corporation violates the wage increase laws?
If a corporation or similar entity commits a wage violation, specific individuals are held criminally liable. Republic Act No. 8188 stipulates that the penalty of imprisonment shall be imposed upon the entity’s responsible officers. These officers explicitly include the president, vice-president, chief executive officer, general manager, managing director, or partner. This provision ensures that corporate structures cannot be used to shield individuals from accountability for wage violations. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
