Document background
The Collective Employment Agreement is a crucial document in Philippine labor relations that formalizes the outcome of collective bargaining negotiations between management and organized labor. It is required when a legitimate labor union has been certified as the exclusive bargaining representative of employees in an appropriate bargaining unit. The agreement must comply with the Labor Code of the Philippines, DOLE regulations, and other relevant labor laws. It typically covers a period of five years for economic provisions and other terms as agreed upon by the parties. This document serves as the "law between the parties" and provides a framework for maintaining industrial peace, establishing fair working conditions, and promoting productive labor-management relations. It includes mandatory provisions on wages, hours of work, and other terms and conditions of employment, as well as procedures for dispute resolution and contract administration.
