Republic Act No. 7730

This document is the full text of Republic Act No. 7730, which strengthens the visitorial and enforcement powers of the Secretary of Labor and Employment in the Philippines. It amends Article 128(b) of the Labor Code to allow the Secretary or authorized representatives to issue compliance orders based on inspection findings. It also allows them to issue writs of execution to enforce orders, unless the employer contests findings and provides supporting documents not considered in the inspection. Orders can be appealed to the Secretary but appeals on monetary awards require posting a bond.
