Everything on this page is free, ungated and downloadable in one click. No email form, no sign-up, no watermark. Official government and Supreme Court documents are mirrored here exactly as published, with the original source linked so you can verify any copy against it.
Each file also has a page on this site that explains what is inside it, what has changed since it was published, and how to apply it — because a PDF on its own rarely answers the question you actually came with.

Before you rely on any of these files
Three habits save most of the mistakes we see in wage and benefit disputes.
- Check coverage before you check the rate. Philippine labour standards are coverage-based. Government employees, managerial employees, field personnel, kasambahay and very small retail or service establishments are excluded from specific benefits, so a correct multiplier applied to an uncovered worker is still the wrong answer.
- Never copy a contribution table out of a PDF. Wage orders, SSS salary credits and PhilHealth premiums change faster than any handbook edition. Read them from the agency’s own current table: NWPC for minimum wage, SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG.
- Keep the evidence, not just the answer. Payslips, time records, schedules, the employment contract and the company handbook or CBA are what turn a computation into a claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these downloads really free?
Yes. Every file here is free, with no email form and no account. The government publications are public documents; LaborCode.ph mirrors them for reliable access and links to the official source alongside each one.
Can I share or reprint these documents?
You can share and link to them freely. The DOLE handbook is marked “not for sale” and may not be reproduced for commercial purposes without the written permission of the Bureau of Working Conditions. Court issuances are public documents.
How do I know a file here is the current version?
Each file’s edition and publication date is stated above, and its explainer page carries a “last materially reviewed” date plus a note on anything that has been superseded since publication. Where a figure has changed — as the SSS and PhilHealth contribution rates have since the 2024 handbook — we say so on the page rather than quietly editing the file.
Will more files be added?
Yes. This page is the index for every downloadable document on LaborCode.ph, and new official issuances, questionnaires and templates are added here as they are published.
Disclaimer
This page provides general educational legal information and is not legal advice. Government and court documents reproduced here remain the work of their issuing bodies; LaborCode.ph is independent and is not a government agency, tribunal or law firm. Coverage, exemptions, rates and contribution tables change, and the correct answer in any particular case depends on the employee’s classification, employer, location and service record.
