About this course

Philippine labor law shapes nearly every decision an HR or payroll team makes, from scheduling shifts to terminating an employee. This course translates the Labor Code and its implementing rules into practical, everyday HR workflows.

You will work through real scenarios covering hours of work, premium pay, leave entitlements, security of tenure, and the twin-notice due process, then close with DOLE reporting obligations that keep your company audit-ready.

  • Classify employees correctly and apply the right working-hour rules
  • Compute premium pay triggers for overtime, night shift, and holiday work
  • Administer statutory and company leave benefits without exposure
  • Distinguish just causes from authorized causes for termination
  • Run a legally sound twin-notice disciplinary process
  • Prepare and file required DOLE reports on schedule

Rommel Castillo 5.0

We used the DOLE reporting calendar from Module 7 to fix gaps in our compliance tracker before our first labor inspection in three years. Passed without a single finding.

Kristine Aquino 5.0

The premium pay computations in Module 3 cleared up years of confusion between rest day and special non-working day rates for our payroll team.

Angeline Fernandez 5.0

Ramon's case-style examples in the security of tenure module made the just causes stick in a way that reading the Labor Code text alone never did for me.

Paolo Villareal 4.0

Very solid overview overall. I wish there was a bit more depth on project-based versus fixed-term employment, but everything else was directly applicable.

Joseph Mendoza 5.0

Finally a course that explains the twin-notice rule the way our labor lawyer does, without the jargon. I used the Module 6 checklist for an actual redundancy case last month.

Bea Santos 3.0

Good foundational content, though some of the leave benefit examples felt a bit rushed given how often HR gets questions on those specific policies.
