Document background
The Master Labor Contract serves as the foundational document governing the employment relationship between companies and their employees in the Philippines. It is typically used when establishing or updating standardized employment terms for a significant workforce, ensuring compliance with the Philippine Labor Code, relevant DOLE regulations, and other applicable laws. This contract type is particularly crucial for organizations with large workforces or those operating in regulated industries, as it provides a unified framework for employment terms, benefits, workplace policies, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The document must incorporate mandatory provisions required by Philippine labor law while allowing flexibility to address industry-specific requirements and company-specific policies.
