Title Source: Supreme Court: Termination in Employment Without Definite Period

Law: Republic Act No. 1052

Decision Date: Jun 12, 1954

Republic Act No. 1052 establishes rules for terminating employment without a definite period in the Philippines, requiring both employers and employees to provide one month's notice and rendering any contracts that violate this requirement null and void.

Invalidity of Contractual Clauses Contrary to Notice Requirement

Any contract or agreement that attempts to waive or circumvent the one-month notice requirement is null and void.
This ensures that the statutory protection cannot be undermined by private agreements between employer and employee.

Effectivity

The law took effect immediately upon its approval on June 12, 1954.
It establishes mandatory procedural requirements that apply immediately to relevant employment relationships upon its effectivity.
