Social Legislation – is a law governing employer-employee relationship while the latter is not “at work”
due to hazards beyond his control arising from employment which immobilize him from working. It is
designed to uplift and protect the welfare of the worker and his family, on account of the effects of
employment such as diseases, injuries, disabilities or death. Retirement Law (R.A. 7641) is a social
