ELI5— what this means for you
Any person who violates the Labor Code can be fined ₱1,000 to ₱10,000 per violation AND imprisoned for 3 months to 3 years. For corporations, the actual officer responsible — not just the company — faces the penalty personally.
Key point
Labor Code violations = fine + imprisonment. Corporate officers are personally liable.
