The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) urged workers to report companies who violate the Anti-Age Discrimination Law.
“It is clearly stated in the law that age discrimination in workplaces is prohibited, “said Mr. Nicanor V. Bon, program and policy division chief ng Bureau of Working Conditions (BRW). “Even labor organizations are not allowed to refuse or deny membership of any worker due to age limitations,.”
DoLE stated that companies found guilty of this will have to pay fines or face imprisonment. ““Should the court find a company guilty of the offense, it may be fined of P50,000 – P500,000 or its officials meted three months to two years imprisonment,” said Mr. Bon. — Gillian Cortez
