Book III — Conditions of Employment
Article 112Non-interference in disposal of wages.
ELI5— what this means for you
Your employer cannot tell you where to spend your wages, force you to buy from a company store, or restrict how you use your pay. Your salary is yours to spend as you choose.
Key point
Forced to buy from the company canteen or store? That's illegal interference with wage disposal.
Official text — PD 442
Non-interference in disposal of wages.
No employer shall limit or otherwise interfere with the freedom of any employee to dispose of his wages. He shall not in any manner force, compel, or oblige his employees to purchase merchandise, commodities or other property from any other person, or otherwise make use of any store or services of such employer or any other person.
