    Management cannot unilaterally change an employment manual without employee consent if it affects employee rights. The Labor Code requires worker participation in decisions affecting their rights and welfare. While management has prerogatives over business operations, changes impacting employee rights require properly informing employees, as ruled in a Supreme Court case involving Philippine Airlines. Management prerogatives are not absolute when employee rights are involved.

    MY QUERY TO DOLE LEGAL SERVICES

    Good day Sir/Madam!


    Is it legal to change the employment manual without the consent of the affected
    employees?

    REPLY FROM DOLE LEGAL SERVICES


    Good day!

    Article 211 (g) of the Labor Code, as amended, which recognizes the State policy to
    ensure the participation of workers in decision and policy-making processes affecting
    their rights, duties and welfare, it is established that when the rights, benefits and
    welfare of employees are involved, workers participation is expected. In the case of
    Philippine Airlines, Inc. vs. NLRC, G.R. No. 85985, August 13, 1993, the Supreme Court
    pointed out that a line must be drawn between management prerogatives regarding
    business operations per se and those which affect the rights of the employees. In
    treating the latter, management should see to it that its employees are at least properly
    informed of its decisions or modes of action. Hence, the exercise of management
    prerogatives is not absolute.

    Thank you for writing.
