Repealed. This article was expressly repealed by Republic Act No. 10361 (2013), the Batas Kasambahay, whose Section 44 repeals every provision of Chapter III (Employment of Househelpers) of the Labor Code. The text below is reproduced as originally enacted, for reference only. The rights and obligations of domestic workers are now governed by that Act, not by the words below.

A note on article numbers. The articles of the Labor Code have been administratively renumbered, so the same provision is often cited under a different number. Supreme Court decisions write both, in the form “Article 297 [282]” — the new number first, the original in brackets. The text on this page is published under its original number, which is the numbering both source texts use. When citing, check which numbering your source follows.
