High heels ban, sitting break provision effective Monday

Requiring female employees to wear high-heeled shoes at work will be prohibited starting Monday, according to a report on Unang Balita.

The ban on the mandatory wearing of high heels (higher than one inch) in the workplace was enforced through Department Order 178 of the Department of Labor and Employment, as this poses danger to their safety and health.

According to the report, female employees such as sales ladies, waitresses, receptionists, lady guards and flight attendants should also be given a 15-minute sitting break every two hours.

Employers who will violate the order may be penalized with a fine, suspension, or closure of business, the report said. —Akari Nakano/KG/KVD, GMA News
