Book III — Conditions of Employment
Article 100Prohibition against elimination or diminution of benefits.
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
