ELI5— what this means for you

Your employer cannot reduce your wages, cut your benefits, or fire you because you filed a labor complaint, testified in a DOLE proceeding, or are about to testify. This is retaliation and is specifically prohibited.

Key point

Filed a labor complaint and suddenly got a pay cut? That's illegal retaliation.
