ELI5— what this means for you

The non-diminution of benefits rule: no provision in the Labor Code can be used to reduce or eliminate benefits that employees were already enjoying before the Code took effect. What you have cannot be taken away by the new law.

Key point

Benefits you were already receiving before the Labor Code cannot be taken away using the Code itself.

Official text — PD 442

Prohibition against elimination or diminution of benefits.

Nothing in this Book shall be construed to eliminate or in any way diminish supplements, or other employee benefits being enjoyed at the time of promulgation of this Code.
