October 23, 2017 Dear John rey Valiao, Please find the Labor Code as renumbered Provision below. Art. 112. 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. It could readily deduce from the above mentioned provision that uniform is included in the unauthorized deductions. This is the same as in Rule 1080 of the OSH Standards that requires employers to provide their workers PPE free of charge. For further queries, you may call the DOLE Hotline at 1349. Your right to request a review If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing us. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request.
